Dear Sleeping beauty,
i'm not a doctor but just another diabetic. A 7 A1C is considered in the good range though 6 is better a 7 is what the highest they like to see a diabetic go unless there are divergent circumstances, like too many low blood sugars trying to keep blood sugars in the normal range. god bless, bret

Thank you so much guys.
Currently Im working real hard to get it back to 6 with exercise and strict eating.
I'll be sure to let you know how it goes when I do my next HbA1c next month! :)
God Bless.
