My HBA1C was 6.85 when I was not taking sugar medicine & not doing exercise but since then I started regular walks & exercise too and now my HBA1C after 3 months from the date of 1st test is 6.6 with medicine cetapin XR 1000. Is this a good change .should I still continue medicine .will I be habitual of this medicine? Please confirm.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. HbA1c% of > 6.5 % is cosidered as diagnostic for diabetes. So whether it is 6.85 or 6.6 % it shows presence of diabetes. Which means there is a need for proper treatment with drugs, exercise and diet control. Treatment of diabetes is invariably for lifetime. Thanks.
