Normal: In children, an HbA1c of 5.5% is normal. Normal: Less than 5.7% Pre-diabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%. Diabetes: above 6.5% In adults they are the same : the normal range is between 4% and 5.6%. Hemoglobin A1c levels between 5.7% and 6.4% = higher chance of getting diabetes. Levels of 6.5 and above = diabetes.
