Hi,
Thank you for posting your question here, I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.

Well in case of diabetic patients we usually prefer to have their HbA1c levels at 6.5 or lower. As such, your sugar level is still very high and you should make changes in your diet, as well as not skip on your medication to bring it within the normal levels.

I hope this helped.
