What should be glycated hemoglobin to be safe for a future baby? How can too high levels of glycated Hb affect the developing baby? Currently, I have HB at 6.7%.
This HbA1c level is almost perfect (n to 6.5%). If the hemoglobin is high, it indicates high sugars, and therefore it is bad for the baby, because it may cause macrosomia, can cause defects and even cause an unsuccessful termination of pregnancy. But at levels up to 7.0 percent. I don't think you are in danger. In pregnancy, it is also more important to test your sugar levels multiple times a day (I understand that you have a blood glucose meter) and to modify your insulin than your glycosylated hemoglobin level.
