I am suffering from blood sugar and have a present hb1ac level of 12.1. This was diagnosed 2 weeks back and I have been able to bring it down from 13. I need guidance on how to get it down to under 6. I have started medication and exercise with at least 6000 steps a day. What steps should I do to get it down to under 6.

Usually HbA1C above 10% in newly detected diabetic patient is indication for starting insulin therapy However some times it may not be necessary. Since You have not mentioned your BSF/PP it becomes difficult to advise you. Usually in newly detected diabetics we usually do all routine investigations like Lipid profile CBc -ESR, SGOT, SGPT, S. Alkaline phosphatase, S. Creatinine, Urine R, urinary microalbumin/urinary creatinine ratio, s. CA, S. Uric acid, TSH, VitD etc.
