Brief Answer:
She is having good control on glucose levels.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
The HbA1c value currently is a bit higher than normal that may be less than 5.7.
This value may show that she is prediabetic or her glucose levels are almost well controlled.
The fact that she has got a value of 6.5 in August and now 6.1 means that she is controlling glucose levels better either by medications or lifestyle changes.
The glucose levels in blood are 128 mg /dl which means that she is having good control on glucose levels but not excellent.
So as a conclusion she is having good results on managing glucose levels and may continue this healthy lifestyle and treatment.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
