Doctors prefer under 6% others under 7%. Dr Ramsetty on the sister forum says under 7%. The 5.8% A1c is excellent. Glucose can range upwards to 150 mg/dl 2-4 hours after a meal. She appears to be normal. There's a lot of misinformation on the web. If you are concerned about something chat with your OB before believing something you read on a web site. D...

And as a consequence, they were also mor...

It would help us better understand your dad's health if you told us what diabetes medication(s) he's taking, how much, and when.

His doctor can prescribe the proper m...
