Thank you for sharing and reaching out. It's tough only having one A1c number because you have nothing to compare it to. But, yes, 10.5% is high and indicates that your average blood sugar levels over the past 3 months have been high. I'd encourage you to seek out a Registered Dietitian for more guidance and help with getting you blood sugars in a healthier range. In addition to speaking with your doctor, and/or Dietitian, this article on HgbA1c may be helpful: https://type2diabetes.com/clinical/bg-a1c-what-does-it-all-mean.
