A 6.7 A1C is approx 140.
As others have mentioned, this is an average of the past 2-3 months, so it'll take time to move.
The American Diabetes Association suggests an A1C of 7%, which is an average glucose level of 154, so you are doing just fine.
Based on your numbers, it looks like you are making progress and the fact that you are so committed and the doctors not prescribing anything are positive indicators.
I was diagnosed with type 1 over 5 years ago. My A1C at diagnosis was 12+. One year later I was at 7.3 and have been in the 6.3-6.8 range and my doctor is totally fine. Last spring I spiked to 8.1 and got the stern talking to. It was a long, lazy winter in WI and I admit, I wasn't watching it as closely as I should.
There is benefits to being type 1 - I can still eat the breads & pasta, you just adjust and take more insulin.
Good luck with this.
