Related to HbA1C
I have tested HbA1C for my my mother and result is 6.4 and after 1 month i tested again and this time it was 6.2 and in between i also tested for Post and Preprandial blood glucose levels in a hospital lab but the results are like completely normal. But since HbA1C is gold standard test for diabetes diagnosis considering the value we can conclude that it is in prediabetes condition. Is medication required for this condition? How to prevent diabetes diabetes now?

Yes. It is a prediabetes condition even if fasting and post food sugar is normal. Usually dietary modifications and regular physical exercise only are required at this stage. In some people, however, medicines are required which depends on the doctor's clinical judgement.
