6.3 is brilliant, as long as you aren't having lots of hypos, stick to what you're doing!
Mine were about that but found I put weight on as was forever snacking to stop going low, now less hypos but but HbA1c up to 7.4 last time. I'm T1, told under 8 is fine, although when I was pregnant I had to be around 6.
Customer helplines that use recorded menus that promise to put me through to the right person but never do - and being ill. Oh, and did I mention customer helplines :)
Here's a graph of HbA1c vs relative risk of complications taken from the Diabetic Control and Complication Trial (a large clinical study of complications and HbA1c):
Basically, if your HbA1c is around 6 then your risk of complications is about the same as non-diabetic people.
I've not had time to read the paper that the image is from yet. Slight digression, but perhaps an interesting link between Fenugreek and HbA1c?
I haven't had any proper hypo's , but I do feel rough a lot of the time. But I've just added Victoza to my Insulin and I wonder if it's that. I will give it a month and if I still feel rough a lot of the time I will have to see what other options I have.

Well that's good then if your not having many hypo's, I agree with Sid when he says you should discuss your bg control with your diabetes team, personally I think 6.3 is excellent control :thumbup:
Just one more thing, there's a book called Think Like a Pancreas which is a fantastic read, you may care to read it as it has loads of helpful advice and tips.
