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 Glucose Fasting and PP Test Test

Hi Sir, my problem is urinating 6 to 7 times per day. My report is: serum bilirubin total 0.92 mg/dl, serum bilirubin direct 0.54 mg/dl, serum bilirubin indirect 0.38 mg/dl, SGOT 40.9 IU/L, SGPT 73.9 IU/L, serum alkaline phosphatase 354.3 IU/L.

Sir, I recently had a fasting glucose test, which showed 103 mg/dL, and an HbA1c test, which showed 12.52 percent. Is it possible for these results to be correct together, or is there a mismatch?
