Great job
My story is very similar, I was dx with a1c of 13.1 and in 4 months got it down to 5.4. I hope I'll manage to keep it low when the honeymoon is over.

As the a1c goes higher so does the probability of developing diabetes complications in the future. The ADA recomends keeping it below 7 but many argue that it should be lower or that it's perfectly fine to go higher. I'm sure you'll hear a lot more about it in the future.
