HbA1c- 6 is definitely Pre diabetic. If you don’t want to take medications for diabetes, it’s high time to take an intervention. First thing you have to check your HOMA IR level and take a consultation with me. Thank you

Take a consultation, correct your “ HIDDEN HUNGER “

Hello 👋...
Less likely of pre-diabetes.
But for sure diagnosis..please do Fasting & PP sugar . During infection & Anemia...Hba1c may be wrong ..& most important Hba1c is not diagnostic test...its for Diabetes monitring .
At this point focus on Deficiency treatment . Do regular sugar check up.
