If you continue keeping your Hba1c around this range then you don’t need medications.

Hba1c less than 5.7% is the goal.. Doesn't matter 5.4% or5% Do not run behind numbers.. Enjoy life .. Follow diet and exercise and achieve the goal of hba1c less than 5.7%.. Unnecessary thinking about numbers will induce stress and you may find difficulty in controlling sugars inspite of your efforts.. Consult online for further guidance
