I think that’s the answer—well done. Good quiz by Peter.

All told, this is not one of Wikipedia’s better articles, but it’s far from the worst I’ve encountered.

Yes indeed - that's the answer. Well done.

Here's the full quote:

Recent results from large trials suggest that a target below 7% may be excessive: Below 7% the health benefits of reduced A1C become smaller, and the intensive glycemic control required to reach this level leads to an increased rate of dangerous hypoglycemic episodes.[20] A retrospective study of 47,970 diabetes patients found that patients with an A1C greater than 6.5% had an increased mortality rate.[21]



That should be less.

Anyone know how to update Wiki?
