Hey Kathleen, I think you're referring to the HbA1C test.
- HbA1C = <6.0 is normal (good for long term damage analysis).
The best advice that I can give you is to go through a glucose tolerance test. Of all of the tests that you go through, this is the litmus test for pre-diabetes.
This will give you your answer.
thx for listening, bill
