Thanks for your query For people without diabetes, the normal range for the hemoglobin A1c level is between 4% and 5.6%. Hemoglobin A1c levels between 5.7% and 6.4% mean you have a higher change of getting of diabetes. Levels of 6.5% or higher mean you have diabetes. Use this chart to view A1c values and comparable blood glucose values:A1cEstimated Average Glucose mg/dL 5%97 6%126 7%154 8%183 9%212 10%240 11%269 12%298 A1c is yet another indicator of how well you’re doing. An A1c measurement between 4-6% is considered the range that someone without diabetes will have.The American Diabetes Association goal is an A1c less than 7%.
