My first A1C since diagnosis is 6.3!

I was honestly expecting something quite a bit higher, because I still don't feel quite in control of my BG levels. Since May, when I was diagnosed (with an A1C of 15.0 ), I have had frequent problems with both lows and highs. How do I still have a decent A1C? I guess I'm not sure how the extreme lows are read in A1Cs, but either way, I would say I had more highs than lows.

The thing is, I kind of woke up out of my "denial phase" not too long before the blood work was done. I started eating a lot better and stopped taking bad risks. I certainly did have better BG levels a couple of weeks beforehand. Perhaps that had more of an effect on it? What have your experiences with this been? Thanks!

Great A1C Silverfrost! Your number is just an average of both your highs and lows together. It's said that the A1C is also heavily weighted to the last month.

Thanks a lot guys!

It makes a lot of sense that it's weighted down by the last month then. Thanks for that info.
