My doctor is satisfied with 6.2 for me.
If you get down to 5.5 and don't have low blood sugar attacks, that is good too. If you feel sick at 5.5, or weak, then that is your answer.
The targets for diabetics are a bit more liberal...than for those with insulin resistance. Getting a diabetic who has an average glucose of 300 during the day down to 130 (HbA1c=6) is a big improvement. Getting an insulin resistant person down from 6 to 5.5 is much different. If you are 6 now, I wouldn't sweat it. Just stay away from fructose and sugar.
Losing weight without trying can be a concern that there is a slow growing cancer somewhere. (usually the lung). Having a blood iron going down is also a warning sign. But it can also mean that you are eating sensibly, and avoiding the "terrible" things like alcohol and sugar.
