Questions From The Corner: How To Lower Blood Sugar Levels

Diana weighs in on how to lower your A1C levels. An A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past three months.

  • A normal level is below 5.7%

  • Prediabetes is 5.7% to 6.4%

  • Diabetes is 6.5% or higher

For most adults with diabetes, the recommended target is below 7%. Learn more about what Diana, a certified nutritionist, says about A1C and blood sugar levels in this Questions From The Corner - free for all!
