Hi, I just received my blood report, and it shows that I am in the prediabetic range, with an HbA1c level of 6. I would like to consult on what steps I should take to manage this condition.

An HbA1c of 6 indicates prediabetes. You can reverse this with lifestyle changes like a low carb diet, 30 minutes daily walk, low sugar intake, timely and small meals and weight control. No medication needed at this point. Repeat HbA1c after 6 months

Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...

Take a HbA1c Test (Hemoglobin A1c) Test or Take a Fasting & PP Blood Sugar with Smart Report Test

My father does not have diabetes. However, today his fasting glucose was 121 mg/dL, and his postprandial blood sugar (PPBS) was 88 mg/dL. Is this a concern? Why is the PPBS lower than the fasting glucose? How should we proceed? His HbA1c is 6.2 percent

Why do doctors advise the HBA1C test every three months?

My mother is 53 years old and has diabetes. Her recent blood report shows, serum creatinine is 1.0 mg/dL, blood urea is 33 mg/dL, cholesterol is 144 mg/dL, fasting blood sugar is 104 mg/dL, and post meal blood sugar is 177 mg/dL. Are these results concerning, and what should be the next steps for her care?
