A1C Target Range
An A1C target range is your clinician's personalized hemoglobin A1C goal—balancing glucose control with hypoglycemia risk and quality of life.
An A1C target range is the personalized hemoglobin A1C band your clinician sets—often below seven percent for many adults with type 2, but tighter or looser for older adults, hypoglycemia risk, or pregnancy. Hitting range blends medication adherence, meal quality, activity, and sleep—not one lever alone.
Chasing ultra-low A1C without support can increase lows.
Common questions
-
Is below six percent always better for A1C?
Not for everyone—very low A1C can raise hypoglycemia risk, especially on insulin or sulfonylureas. Targets should match your health profile and clinician advice.
