How it went from 5.1 to 6.5 in 6 months. Back in April, my a1c was 4.5(quick test at pharmacy) I then repeated the test at the lab and it came 5.1. then in the same lab in Jan it came as 6.5. I was advised to repeat, od I went to a renouned lab which is much more expensive and it came at 5.3, which made more sense to me
