What should the A1C of a diabetic person be?

I think lots of diabetics would give their eye teeth for such numbers. I think you're probably a little anxious that the numbers have risen and are now higher than those of a non-diabetic. My research tells me that a healthy non-diabetics HbA1c is between 4.2 and 4.6%. Others might disagree.

It's also true that the further we deviate from normal levels, the greater our risk of complications. The increase in risk is not linear, either, it's exponential.

Anyhow, you're doing really well, just try not to go any higher!

All the best,

Hi Jeannie143 and Fergusc,

Thanks for your response, I just realized that my levels were so good on my low carb diet that I only took one 500 mg Metformin in the evening, I used to take one in the morning and one in the evening, my sugar levels are below 120 one hour after meals usually, but thanks for pointing out and asking me if there was a change in meds, I will add the 2nd metformin and see what happens
