Brief Answer:
HbA1c of 9.89 denote poor blood sugar control.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your question.
Noted your concern.
Went through your mother's test results.
Though fasting blood sugar level appear to be within acceptable limit, HbA1c denotes poor blood sugar control.
Considering intermittent low blood sugar level (hypoglycemia) there is a need to change the medicines.
Skipping medicines is not advisable.
Also lipid profile is not within limit need medicine for that.
Better to consult her treating doctor for medicines and dose adjustment.
Hope this helps.

Dr. Abhay Mali.
