My a1c went from 5.6 to 5.9?

Sugar: That means there is too much sugar in your system. It can represent early diabetes which implies that you have burnt out your Insulin receptors and the pancreas function is no longer optimal. It can also represent that you always have too much sugar in your diet. This should be a warning call to get to work limiting your carbohydrate intake to less than 25% of your calories and to begin to diet.
