A member asked:
Would it be healthy that my a1c went from 5.7 to 5.4?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Any improvement in blood sugar is good, as long as it's not at the expense of causing frequent and dangerous episodes of hypoglycemia.

Sort of: Neither 5.7 nor 5.4 is abnormal. The reason for the change is likely to be due red cell turn over. Did you have recent bleed? Was there any change in your hemoglobin level?
