🩺 CHIC Health Fact Friday is here! This week we’re switching things up with a focus on prediabetes and blood sugar awareness.
💜 CHIC HEALTH FACT FRIDAY | KNOW YOUR A1C 💜
Did you know more than 2 in 5 American adults have prediabetes—and more than 8 in 10 don’t know they have it? According to the CDC, prediabetes means your blood sugar is higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes.
🩸 One number worth knowing: your A1C.
The A1C blood test gives an estimate of your average blood sugar over the previous 3 months. An A1C below 5.7% is considered normal, 5.7%–6.4% is in the prediabetes range, and 6.5% or higher is in the diabetes range.
✨ CHIC Reminder: Prevention starts with awareness. Knowing your numbers and discussing your individual risk with your healthcare provider can help you take action early.
And to the healthcare professionals educating, encouraging, and caring for patients every day—keep showing up with Comfort. Confidence. Care. — CHIC Scrubs. 🩺💜
