, the normal range for the hemoglobin A1c level is between 4%and 5.6%
Hemoglobin A1c levels between 5.7% and 6.4% mean you have impaired HBA1C.
Levels of 6.5% or higher mean you have diabetes.

Lifestyle modification along with diet and exercise will be good. No need for medications for now. Keep checking HbA1c every 6 months. When it goes beyond 6.5 he might need medication.
