I'm diabetic and have been for about 45 months. My latest HBA1C reading came back as 5.6, and I'm trying to understand what that really means. Also, I noticed my mean blood glucose level is 122 mgdL. Could you explain if that's considered normal or not? I'm a bit concerned and would love some clarity.
