Your
HbA1c is in the pre-diabetic range, and it's quite close to the cut-off for
diabetes. This is a warning sign, and it's important to act early to prevent progression.
Your weight seems appropriate for your height, but keep in mind that many Indians tend to be "skinny fat" as in having normal weight but high abdominal fat.
Waist circumference is a better indicator of metabolic health than BMI. A waist size of 90 cm or more in men indicates abdominal obesity, which increases the risk for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease,even if BMI is normal.
Now is the time to focus on fitness and dietary changes:
Reduce carbs, processed foods, trans fats, and sugary drinks
Consider consulting a dietician for a personalized plan
Start exercising regularly:
-150 min/week of moderate aerobic activity (e.g., brisk walking)
-2+ days/week of strength training
-Post-meal walks (10–15 min) to control blood
sugar spikes
Include meditation or breathing exercises to manage stress.
Please repeat your HbA1c and fasting
lipid profile in 3 months to track progress.
Catching this early is a big opportunity—small changes now can prevent major problems later. Take care of yourself!
