Borderline HbA1C with normal fasting
Hello , since past six months to 1 year my HbA1C is howevering around 6.4-6.7 range . My fasting sugar in lab test is normally 90-100 and in glucometer 100-110 . Inspite of my recent effort to control sweet intake it is not going below 6.4 and as i am pure vegetarian my diet is mainly dal roti subzi and rice all time . Do you think it's a concern if it does not go below 6.4 and if this range is maintained can in continue to avoid medicine which I am not inclined to opt for ? I don't have any specific health concern My liver , kidney , Lipid profile are all perfectly normal . Though I am overweight ( BMI around 29) Kindly guide
