Thanks for the Query. Need to know your mother's age..?? Secondly HbA1c of 6.8 is quite good and reducing further will cause Hypoglycemia. It's never advised to reduce HbA1c to below 6. Do continue the same treatment. For any further information or advice you can book an online consultation with me on Lybrate. Thank you.
