HBA1c in non-diabetics

[_AnotherUser_]

Hello,
I hope you are good.
I believe I found a study of non-diabetic HBA1c and now I'm looking for it I cannot find it, is anyone aware of a study of non-diabetic people's HBA1c?
I feel it would be nice to know what a normal person HBA1c is. For me, many many many years of evolution have refined a design and I feel we diabetics are told to run higher than a non-diabetic person and I curious to know how much higher.
Thanks in advance for your help.

It's always been a source of puzzlement to me that with this condition it's often harder to find out what "normal" looks like. Anyway, this little study gives you an idea:

Continuous Glucose Profiles in Healthy Subjects under Everyday Life Conditions and after Different Meals - PMC

This study investigated continuous glucose profiles in nondiabetic subjects. Continuous interstitial glucose measurement was performed under everyday life conditions (2 days) and after ingestion of four meals with standardized carbohydrate content ...

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

contains a number of non-diabetic CGM profiles in response to various food items.

The graph attached below shows the HbA1c results for a number of non-diabetic Dutch adults: you'll see that the vast majority of people are somewhere in the range 36-42, with a big cluster around 38.

Not what I found but that is what I'm looking for, thank you.
