    The A1C test provides an average measure of a person's blood sugar levels over the past 3 months and can help assess their risk for diabetes complications. The American Diabetes Association recommends an A1C target of below 7.5% for children/teens and below 7% for adults. However, the ideal A1C level may vary depending on factors like age, duration of diabetes, and presence of complications, so targets should be individualized based on a doctor's guidance. The document then provides an A1C conversion table translating A1C levels to estimated average blood sugar concentrations.

    diabetes: A1C conversion table

    The A1C test gives you an average of your child’s blood


    sugar control for the last 3 months. The A1C helps tell a
    person’s risk of having complications from diabetes.

    Target A1C: In the Standards of Medical Care in


    Diabetes - 2019, the American Diabetes Association
    (ADA) recommends children and teens have an A1C
    target of less than 7.5 percent. They recommend
    non-pregnant adults have a target A1C of less than 7
    percent. The ADA does state that A1C targets should be
    individualized to each person by his/her doctor. Your
    child’s doctor will look at the following before giving a
    target specific to your child.

    • Age • How long has he/she


    had diabetes
    • Risk for low blood
    sugar and if he/she can • If he/she has
