Pre-diabetes: Not good. It represents being prone to diabetes. You have time to reverse this process with lifestyle changes.

Good: Guidelines are frequently revised in the diagnosis of prediabetes. The current guidelines consider Hgb a1c values of 5.7 or less to be normal. For practical purposes, a value of 5.8 is good. If there is family history of diabetes, it should be retested every six months
