EDITING IN THAT WE GOT THE RESULTS OF HIS *LAB DRAWN A1C*  and it was 5.2%  So Jesse is just fine and I am very thankful!!!  :-)

This is a Bayer home a1c test kit.  What is an a1c test: 

The A1C test is a common blood test used to diagnose type 1 and type 2 diabetes and then to gauge how well you're managing your diabetes. The A1C test goes by many other names, including glycated hemoglobin, glycosylated hemoglobin, hemoglobin A1C and HbA1c.

The A1C test result reflects your average blood sugar level for the past two to three months. Specifically, the A1C test measures what percentage of your hemoglobin — a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen — is coated with sugar (glycated). The higher your A1C level, the poorer your blood sugar control. And if you have previously diagnosed diabetes, the higher the A1C level, the higher your risk of diabetes complications.

For someone who doesn't have diabetes, a normal A1C level can range from 4.5 to 6 percent. Someone who's had uncontrolled diabetes for a long time might have an A1C level above 9 percent.

When the A1C test is used to diagnose diabetes, an A1C level of 6.5 percent or higher on two separate tests indicates you have diabetes. A result between 5.7 and 6.4 percent is considered prediabetes, which indicates a high risk of developing diabetes.

For most people who have previously diagnosed diabetes, an A1C level of 7 percent or less is a common treatment target. Higher targets may be chosen in some individuals. If your A1C level is above your target, your doctor may recommend a change in your diabetes treatment plan. Remember, the higher your A1C level, the higher your risk of diabetes complications.

Here's how A1C level corresponds to average blood sugar level, in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) and millimoles per liter (mmol/L):

A1C level	Average blood sugar level
5 percent	80 mg/dL (4.4 mmol/L)
6 percent	120 mg/dL (6.7 mmol/L)
7 percent	150 mg/dL (8.3 mmol/L)
8 percent	180 mg/dL (10 mmol/L)
9 percent	210 mg/dL (11.7 mmol/L)
10 percent	240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L)
11 percent	270 mg/dL (15 mmol/L)
12 percent	300 mg/dL (16.7 mmol/L)
13 percent	333 mg/dL (18.5 mmol/L)
14 percent	360 mg/dL (20 mmol/L)

So--if you went by all of the information above, an a1c result of 6.6 for "Thing 1--my diabetic daughter" would be GREAT!  It would mean her blood sugar is fairly in control and she is doing good.  Hers usually runs in the 7 to 8% range, which is okay for someone her age.

The above a1c test, however, was for my 23 month old son, Thing 6.  I thought hard about even writing anything about this, because I just don't know for sure yet.  He went into the lab and had a blood draw for lab tests done today.  I will hear in about 7 hours what the results of that a1c are.  And I will know how accurate the home a1c test kits are.  I used one for me once, it was 5.5%  A week later I had the same test done at the lab in town and it too was 5.5%.  So in my one instance it was spot on.  So I'm pretty anxious to know what the result is in the morning.
