The test lab doesn't know my history, I declined to fill that bit in, I just wanted the result.But I do like the advise they give"Your HbA1c was raised and is at a level which is described as pre-diabetic. This could be an early indication that your body beginning to struggle to metabolise glucose (sugar) correctly. We advise you to reduce your consumption of sugar and refined carbohydrates (e.g. white bread, pasta, rice and potatoes) if you can, and repeat the test in 3 months. If your level remains elevated we advise you to talk to your doctor for lifestyle advice and glucose lowering medication."Bold lettering is mine</blockquote>
