What should I do if my HbA1c is higher than my target level?

If your HbA1c is higher than your target level, it indicates that your blood sugar has been consistently elevated over the past few months. Your doctor may recommend changes to your diabetes treatment plan, including adjustments to your medication, diet, or exercise routine. It’s important to address a high HbA1c promptly because elevated blood sugar levels increase the risk of complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve problems. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider and monitoring of your blood sugar levels will help track progress.
