What does it mean to have ?

For those with diabetes, many healthcare professionals and organizations, including the American Diabetes Association (ADA), recommend reaching an A1c of 7% or lower. Achieving this means significantly reduced risks of developing diabetes-related complications such as heart disease, stroke, vision loss, kidney failure, limb amputations, neuropathy, and premature death. When done right, this also means looking & feeling great, boosting your energy levels, improving your mood, increasing your focus, living better, and thriving longer.

Even a 1% change in your A1c level can make a huge difference.
