“Diabetic question?”
I have taken an at-home test for my AIC and was reading at 5.2, is that too low or am I ok?

Hello, no your A1C is within normal range.
5.2% IS FINE. HOWEVER, TAKING A SULFONUREA WITH THAT GREAT OF AN Ha1C IS DANGEROUS. I WOULD CHANGE TO A MEDICATION THAT DOESN'T CAUSE HYPOGLYCEMIA SUCH AS JARDIANCE-FARXIGA-INVOKANA-STEGLATRO OR A WEEKLY GLP1 SUCH AS TRULICITY OR OZEMPIC.
