An A1C above 9% increases the risk of long-term diabetes complications like blindness, nerve damage, and kidney failure.

Can an Hb1ac (9.2) be brought to 6 or below, and how?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I was diagnosed with diabetes 4 months ago, and my doctor advised me that I would not need medication if I improved my lifestyle. At that time, my HbA1c was 6.5. Since then, I have focused on my diet and walked regularly for 1 hour daily. After 3 months, my HbA1c dropped to 6.01. Today, I checked my blood sugar using a testing kit, my fasting reading was 100 mg/dL, and 1.5 hours after eating, it was 102 mg/dL. Does this post meal result mean low sugar? Is this something to worry about, or does it mean my diabetes is under control or even reversed? Please clarify what this indicates.
