Understanding HbA1c Levels: What's a Healthy Range for Diabetes?

Question
MY LAB'S CAME BACK WAS LAST TIME 5.9 NOW 6.2  THEY SAY UNDER 7 IS OK IS THAT TRUE??

Answer
I assume that you mean for the HgbA1C test, which is a measure of how the patient's blood sguar (glucose) has been the past three months.  Yes, you're correct, for a diabetic, you should aim to have a result of less than 7.0.
