A member asked:

If your a1c level is 6.7% what type of diabetes does that make you?

If you are 55: Years old, you are probably overweight and type 2 diabetes. There is a slim chance of type 1 diabetes at your age, which (if it is present) will become apparent when your blood sugar worsens significantly in spite of appropriate diet, exercise, weight loss and oral medication. Check w/your doctor.
