Hi @Chohan g and welcome to the forum.

12.6% is pretty high, but I started at 12% and have got down to non diabetic numbers, as have many on here.

A couple of questions for you. Have you been diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes? And have you been prescribed insulin or any other medication for your diabetes? The answers to these questions will help people to give you appropriate advice.

In the meantime you might find the information in this link useful: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/basic-information-for-newly-diagnosed-diabetics.17088/

Have a good read and ask as many questions as you like.

Hi. 12.6% is too high and could be dangerous it it continues. You may need to check your ketones. If you are fairly slim you should have the tests for T1 done. If you are overweight then seriously reduce the carbs in your diet.
