Type 2 Should I be happy Hba1c

So today I looked at my test results online my Hba1c has reduced from 9.1 to 7.1 to 6.8 I was obviously hoping for less but my target is 6.5 so I’m happy ish

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.)
 
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?
 
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...
