This level suggests that blood sugar is not well-controlled, and it increases the risk of diabetes-related complications. Next Steps: Consult your healthcare provider to adjust your diabetes management plan. Focus on lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and medication adherence to lower your A1C. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is essential to track progress.
