You'd have to be diabetic for a VERY long time to hit these numbers:


"Under the new recommendations, which are revised every year to reflect
the most current available scientific research, an A1c of 5.7 -- 6.4
percent would indicate that blood glucose levels were in the pre-diabetic
range, meaning higher than normal but not yet high enough for a diagnosis
of diabetes. That diagnosis would occur once levels rose to an A1c of 6.5
percent or higher."

These don't reflect science, these reflect corporate interests.
