Hi, Since HbA1C is above 6.4, it's in diabetic range..Along with that you have PCOS too..
Next Steps
Consult your Endocrinologist and start taking small dose of medicine for diabetes. Along with that life style modification is definitely needed for both PCOS and diabetes.. Regular walking exercise,  avoid stress, proper sleep, low carb low calorie diet

Your blood tests indicate that your HbA1c is slightly elevated. A value of 6.8 is above the normal range and falls into the diabetic category. Considering your symptoms like frequent urination, yeast infections, and PCOS, it’s crucial to manage both conditions as they can impact each other. PCOS often leads to insulin resistance, which can contribute to elevated blood sugar levels. I recommend regular monitoring of your blood sugar and HbA1c levels. You should also work closely with your doctor or an endocrinologist to develop a treatment plan that manages both your PCOS and blood sugar levels.

Your HbA1c levels, both 6.8% in February and 6.5% in April, indicate that you are in the prediabetic range (5.7% to 6.4% is considered prediabetes, and 6.5% or higher is diagnostic of diabetes). The reduction from 6.8% to 6.5% is a positive sign, showing some improvement, but this is still in the range where monitoring is important. Given your PCOS, it's common to have insulin resistance, which can increase your risk of developing diabetes. It's good that your random blood sugar is normal (78 mg/dL), but HbA1c is the more reliable marker for long-term blood sugar control. Regarding the yeast infection and hole-like pimple, these can sometimes be related to high blood sugar, as elevated glucose can increase the risk of infections. It’s also worth noting that frequent urination (though not at night) could be linked to anxiety or mild insulin resistance.
Next Steps
Since you have PCOS and are at higher risk of diabetes, I'd recommend the following: 1. Continue monitoring your HbA1c at least every 3 months or depending on your doctor's recommendation. 2. Maintain a healthy diet and exercise to help manage blood sugar levels and PCOS symptoms. 3. Consult a doctor about the yeast infection and breast pimple as these might need treatment, especially if recurrent. 4. Address health anxiety- managing stress can help both your physical and mental health. Techniques like mindfulness or therapy might help reduce the sensation of frequent urination caused by anxiety.
Health Tips
It's not definitive that you have diabetes right now, but staying proactive with regular testing and lifestyle adjustments is key.
