Might you not want the A1c at diagnosis as well, for it to be relevant?

Type 1 47 years, last A1C 5.7.
No A1C when diagnosed.
First A1C I recall, early 1980s, might have been 13ish. (Doing 1/injection per day, using Lente insulin.)
Note that A1C measured at earlier years, different labs, and in different countries may have a different reference range. In 1980's I recall A1C <8 was considered normal for non-diabetics, according to the way it was measured by my lab. My doctor had what he called the 'under 9 award' when I switched to MDI with newer insulins. Recent A1C testing is more standardized, with 4-6 being non-diabetic range in most cases.

DX in 1984 so 28 years (eek). My current A1C is 5.3 although I have no recollection of what it was when I was diagnosed. I'm sure it was higher than that! 2x marathons and 7x 1/2 marathons and a few 5Ks. 1x black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Can play "Black Dog" on my axe!

latest A1C is 6.8, I've been a type 1 diabetic for 42 years. I'm on sliding scale Humalog at each meal with a base dose of Lantus every evening. No idea how this statistically figures into whatever it is you're doing , but I'm happy to skew any results you may have.
