A member asked:

My a1c is 5.7 does that mean i'm not diabetic anymore?

Good news: You're still diabetic (assuming the diagnosis was accurae), but you need to be congratulated on your achievement. Keep this up, and you'll probably escape the horrible consequences of long-term out-of-control diabetes. Best wishes.
