A year ago I was told by my dr that my HbA1c of 41 was prediabetic as it was the same as a year previously, with all the life style changes ,exercise taken etc had I NOT been prediabetic it should have dropped lower. Although I took notice of the dr and acted on his words, I did wonder if he was a 'glass half empty' sort of person as he was the same one who, when diagnosing me with hypertension, had said I wouldn't be able to do enough on my own to lower it. I just felt he wanted me on medication no matter what. [I am now on meds for hypertension].
I am now almost due for another A1c test so have been testing myself and wonder if anyone can throw light on these readings? Fasting early morning - 6.3; pre meal - 6.0 and post meal [2 hrs] 8.2. I wonder if they are higher than they should be and what to do if so. Thanks for the help.
