What does it mean to have ?

For those with diabetes, many healthcare professionals and organizations, including the American Diabetes Association (ADA), recommend reaching an A1c of 7% or lower. Achieving this means significantly reduced risks of developing diabetes-related complications such as heart disease, stroke, vision loss, kidney failure, limb amputations, neuropathy, and premature death. When done right, this also means looking & feeling great, boosting your energy levels, improving your mood, increasing your focus, living better, and thriving longer.

Even a 1% change in your A1c level can make a huge difference.

Still, it’s important to understand how insulin works, why it's sometimes overprescribed, and how to monitor it safely.

Here’s why glucose trends, GMI, Time in Range, and variability often tell a deeper story than A1c alone.
