is 7.2 a1c good for a diabetic

An A1C level of 7.2% is slightly above the target for most people with diabetes. Here’s what it means:

• A1C Target: For most adults with diabetes, the goal is to maintain an A1C level below 7%. This helps reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.
• 7.2% A1C: While 7.2% is not significantly high, it indicates that blood sugar levels are not optimally controlled. It’s important to work with your healthcare provider to adjust your diabetes management plan, which may include lifestyle changes, medication adjustments, or more frequent monitoring.
