This article published by ampgoo, discusses HbA1c (a marker for average blood sugars) and different strategies to improve blood sugar management.
Hemoglobin A1c is a reading for what percentage of your red blood cells are glycated (covered in sugar). This is a great indicator for a person's 3-month average for blood sugars.
An A1c <5.7 is within ideal limits
A1c 5.7-6.4 Indicates Prediabetes
A1c >6.4 indicates Diabetes
A few strategies for blood sugar management are weight loss (if indicated), regular exercise, and eating balanced meal with a moderate amount of carbohydrates.
