If the A1C is a result of lows, yes, I totally agree that hypoglycemia is detrimental and can be fatal.

If the A1C is a result of metabolic changes due to weight loss, better diet, etc., the patient should be taken off of medication and determine if blood sugar levels can be maintained in normal ranges with lifestyle changes alone.

Was your question addressed to me???

I do not understand OP. Does that stand for "other person"?
