You're fine. The goal given me was less than 7%. My last was 5.3% and the doctor told me I had reversed my diabetes in that my numbers were those of a non-diabetic . Not cured but reversed

Hello,

this a1c is not terrible, but is an average bs of 108, which is higher than normal.  Truely normal  A1c is 4.1 - 4.6.  So there is room for improvement still.

That said, many doctors would not be too concerned with an A1C less than 6.

Please keep working to improve it.
