My doctor advised me that the goal of their clinic was that all their diabetic patients be 7% or under A1C wise.

However, I have read recently that they are wanting to make 6% A1C the new 7% for "controlled" diabetics, just as they want 120/80 to be the standard for people who have "controlled" HTN.

This makes sense, considering that the lower our levels, the less likely our chances for complications.
