Great stuff! How did you do it? Diet, drugs, both?

My personal target (set by my doctor) is 7% or lower. In fact I achieved lower than that, but as long as it is 7 or below, I don't care. (That is the target for T2 in the USA "health system" to the extent that such a thing exists.)

It's going South, which is good.
How long you been at it?
Good luck

Well done! I'm type 1 and have been very very glad to achieve a result like that. I'd love to be under 6.5 but its extremely difficult. Exercise really makes a difference doesn't it?

Well done, you are heading in the right direction.

Be happy, it's on its way down! You can still aim for a better result at or below your target while acknowledging the progress that you made.

Well done!
Any improvements obviously are great, but some just have to be achieved with small steps and there's no shame in that...
