Hello, I'm 15 and my A1C level is 5.3. I'm not quite sure if thats bad or good or what. My parents and I thought at first I was hyopglycemic but my blood resluts came back as i was fine but they wanted me to beware of my A1C level.So how would i bring that down, and should i be watchful?

5.3 isn't a bad A1c level. Are you sure you got the number right? I can't see any reason for alarm at that number. I certainly wouldn't want to bring it down any further if you think you're hypoglycemic, it will make it worse.
