I thought 6.2 would be excellent for an AIC reading
Mine were 6s and 7s one time an 8 and now this dreaded curse.

Ideal number for A1C would be 5.4. I lowered my number to that, by going low carb, avoiding all sugar and wheat bread. I wish I knew what glucose level I had when I started getting PN...

A few years ago, there was a proposal to lower that limit to 3000 mg/day, and 2600 mg/day for chronic (longer than 2 weeks) use. Some "lobbying" took place, and now the "official" safe limit is in a range between 3000 and 4000.

It's been suggested (and I do this myself) that anyone taking acetaminophen at those levels—or long-term (longer than 2 weeks)—take N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) to help protect the liver.
