Prediabetes Some results

[bladerfc]

Hi I got my 2 results the average test over the 3 month period was 43 and my result of what my blood sugar was at time of testing was 4.8 I had ate about an hour and a half before the doc I spoke to today didn't seem so concerned is the 4.8 a good result is that a bit of hope?

Very good results which alone would indicate that you aren't diabetic. These results are something that we diabetics would envy and can only dream about reaching.

I know the 43 is a little high so will need to keep an eye on my diet have been eating low carb for last week and I can already feel a bit of weight coming off and my bmi is 25.5 so don't have loads of weight to lose thanks for replying

Hi @bladerfc , welcome

The HbA1c of 43 is at the lower end of the prediabetic range but you are doing what you need to in order to manage it back to non-diabetic levels.

With the loss of some weight, and a slight adjustment to your diet, combined with exercise you should over a relatively short time get the HbA1c figure of 43 even lower. It's well worth making the effort as preventing yourself from going on to developing diabetes is the best option.
Good luck for the future, knowing what to do to prevent yourself getting diabetes is the answer.
