It's 6.2%, you can use the following to convert from the new measurement of IFCC to the old DCCT:

Are you T1 or 2? For T1, that would be pretty **** good!

I'm type 2. Didn't know what to expect. Sounds good then?!

I'd say so! But you just need to keep up the good work now.

Hi. Yes, that's good. Just watch the carbs in your diet and with a bit of luck you should continue to keep it down.
