A1c is the reflection of your hyperglycemic state 3 months earlier.
From American diabetes association (ADA) guidelines, it is stated that A1c level of 7 should be obtained in diabetic patient. But it is also stated that more reduction toward normal value (less than 6) should be tried as long as there is no complication such as hypoglycemia.
Lowering A1c has been associated with a reduction of microvascular and neuropathic complications and possibly macrovascular disease.
There is several tratment goal for diabetics, but A1c is the primary target for glycemic control ie:
A1C : 7.0%
Preprandial capillary plasma glucose : 90–130 mg/dl (5.0–7.2 mmol/l)
Peak postprandial capillary plasma glucose :180 mg/dl (10.0 mmol/l)
Blood pressure : 130/80 mmHg
LDL : 100 mg/dl (2.6 mmol/l)
Triglycerides : 150 mg/dl (1.7 mmol/l)
HDL : 40 mg/dl (1.0 mmol/l)

Same as if you're NOT diabetic. But for most diabetics it seldom is. One thing that helps A LOT is exercising and watching what you eat. I can tell you from 35 years of personal experience, no amount of adjusting your insulin or (if type 2) pills is going to help nearly as much as eating your fruits and veggies and working out. P.S. A1C's between 5.5 and 6, used to be 8-9+.

Normal person is 6 max and diabetic is 7. The lower you get it the better for you.

The first answerer nailed it. Under 7 is good, under 6 is better. Mine was 5.8, last time. Doc wanted it at 5.2. I'm working on that. It requires a diligent approach to your diet and lifestyle. I've completely changed everything since becoming diabetic. I've lost 50 pounds, modified my diet to include lots of healthy raw vegetables, and walk 4 to 6 miles per day. Check out the links under my profile for more helpful info.
