@jimbo12 Glad to help!

As I often say, I'm not a doctor. But I do think it's important to keep the proper distinction between concern, worry, and panic.

To my mind, you're wise to be concerned. But that's as far as I would go. Otherwise, you're at risk of letting this number drive your life. And what fun would that be?

Thank you. During the last five years, my A1C has bounced around from 5.6 to 5.9 and then back to 5.6., etc. Of three doctors, only one even mentioned the number and suggested counseling.
