can your a1c be too low

Yes, your A1C can be too low. While maintaining a healthy A1C level is important for managing diabetes, an excessively low A1C (typically below 4%) can indicate hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), which can be dangerous. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include:

• Dizziness
• Confusion
• Shakiness
• Sweating
• Fainting

Causes of low A1C:

• Overmedication (e.g., too much insulin or diabetes medication)
• Frequent low blood sugar episodes
• Certain medical conditions or dietary habits

If your A1C is too low, consult your healthcare provider to adjust your treatment plan and avoid potential risks.
