Pre-diabetes?
Hello I did a health checkup and my hbA1c came at 5.7%, average blood sugar at 117mg/dl and frcutosamine at 295umol/l. Non hdl cholesterol is at 207 and total at 246 and insulin fasting at 15.8uU/ml. Does it mean I am prediabetic? If yes will I be able to reverse it? I am 33 year old with 82 kgs weight and 5.7 feet height.
