Your HbA1c of 6.0% and fasting blood sugar of 104 mg/dL place you squarely in the prediabetes category. This means your body is experiencing insulin resistance—your cells are resisting the action of insulin, making it harder to clear glucose from your blood after meals. Your family history (father with diabetes) also plays a strong genetic role here. Notice how your body reacted to your meals: 2 Paneer Paranthas + Curd = 124 mg/dL: This is an excellent post-meal reading. The protein and fat from the paneer and curd slowed down glucose absorption. Low GI Rice = 154 mg/dL: Even low glycemic index rice is heavily carb-dense. A spike to 154 means the volume of rice or lack of protein/fiber accompanying it overwhelmed your current insulin capacity. 1. Is frequent urination common in prediabetes? Typically, frequent urination (polyuria) occurs in overt diabetes when blood sugars cross the renal threshold (usually above 180 mg/dL), causing the kidneys to excrete excess sugar through urine. However, if you are experiencing frequent spikes or hidden highs, it can happen. Because you are balancing a very busy schedule, it is also highly recommended to get a simple Urine Routine/Culture test to rule out a mild Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), which is a very common cause of frequent urination in women. 2. When should you re-test your HbA1c? An HbA1c test measures your average blood sugar over a 3-month period (the lifespan of a red blood cell). Since your last test was in May, testing in August is the absolute earliest you should repeat it. Checking it in late August or early September will give you a much more accurate reflection of the excellent lifestyle changes you are making right now. You don't need to cook separate meals. Simply change how you eat your food: The Protein/Fiber Buffer: Always eat your vegetables (fiber) and protein (dal, paneer, sprouts, eggs, chicken) before you touch your rice or roti. Coating your digestive tract with fiber and protein dramatically slows down carbohydrate absorption and prevents spikes. Fix the Rice/Roti Spike: When you eat rice or roti, drastically reduce the portion size (aim for it to take up no more than one-quarter of your plate) and double the amount of cooked vegetables and dal next to it.
Next Steps
You are already taking the right steps by monitoring and adjusting. With small, consistent tweaks to food sequencing and portions, prediabetes is highly reversible.
