Is 5.9 % of hbalc a good level?

Prediabetes: No, a HbA1C of >5.6% is abnormal and is indicative of underlying metabolic dysfunction that can lead to diabetes. It is important to find the source (examples can be stress, poor diet, inflammation, obesity) and work on changes to reverse the early blood sugar problems.

Yes: The goal in diabetics is to get this number below 7.0 and even below 6.5 if possible. If you are a diabetic and have 5.9, that is terrific. If you are not a diabetic, this could be a normal figure. Lowering this number is important to lower the risk of complications of diabetes.
