Is that your hemoglobin A1C level? If so, it's a bit high and I imagine your provider will want to do further testing. If this is the situation, then it may be best to minimize carbs and focus your diet on proteins and vegetables until GDM has been ruled out. If that 6.8 is your iron level then it's low and your provider will recommend iron.
