What Is a Normal HbA1c Level? A Guide for Pakistani Patients

HbA1c shows average blood sugar for the last two to three months. It is one of the most useful markers for diabetes control because it shows the long pattern, not just one finger-prick reading.

Common ranges are below 5.7% for normal, 5.7% to 6.4% for prediabetes, and 6.5% or above for diabetes. Many diagnosed patients aim below 7%, but your doctor should set your target.

South Asian meals often include roti, rice, naan, paratha, and biryani. These foods are not automatically banned, but portions and pairings matter. Add protein, vegetables, daal, yogurt, eggs, chicken, fish, and water to reduce spikes.
