According to the Canadian Center for Disease Control:

"A normal A1C level is below 5.7%, a level of 5.7% to 6.4% indicates
prediabetes, and a level of 6.5% or more indicates diabetes. Within the
5.7% to 6.4% prediabetes range, the higher your A1C, the greater your
risk is for developing type 2 diabetes."

I'm a diagnosed Type 2, and consistenly get readings of 6.6 - 7.1 -- the
doctor is quite happy with those readings (I'm on twice daily oral
metformin).


Cheers... Dallas
