It should not be used in patients who are pregnant or very young (children) for diagnosis of diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>Type 2 diabetes can be diagnosed if HbA1c of 6.5% or 48 mmol\/mol or above. [2]<\/p>\n<p>If HbA1c is 48mmol\/mol or 6.5% or above in a person who does not have any symptoms of diabetes then it is best to repeat HbA1c test again. On repeating if HbA1c levels are still above 48mmol\/mol or 6.5% then this confirms that the person has diabetes. However, if levels are below 48 mmol\/mol or 6.5% then this person does not diabetes but are very high risk of developing diabetes. These people should be followed by healthcare professional and test repeated at 6 months.<\/p>\n<p>Hemoglobin A1c value between 5.7 to 6.4% or 39 to 46 mmol\/mol is suggestive of pre-diabetes. Patients with these values are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. [3]<\/p>\n<p>Hemoglobin A1c value below 5.6% or 38 mmol\/mol is normal. Even if the HbA1c value is normal, it is important to understand personal risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
