What level? A1C or Blood glucose level?

-
exercise and cut out most carbs and all sugar,,there are meds that will lower blood sugar..see a doctor,,other option is to apply for SS disability take over a year to get the first check.
loose weight,,exercise and cut out sugar and I'll bet his blood sugar levels go down,, -

Put down the krispy kreme doughnuts. lol
Like the other poster stated, change his diet and it will lower his sugar level. -
how about just do a retest of the a1c. I take blood sugar meds, take a1c thru my doc, but never had to have one for a dot physical, is he on meds like metformin?
but an a1c is a 90 day avg of sugar levels, that change in diet wont have much effect by june 2 -

Eat like a rabbit, walk and walk some more. Go and retest on the 1st, you should be able to bring it down a tenth or two. They would most likely (if he passes) give him a short term card 3 or six months and have him retest then. So he needs to keep it under control always. Sucks, but that's the way it is. Thank more government.
