Borderline diabetes: Absolutely this is reversible with diet, weight loss, exercise. Even 5 lb of weight loss will have a remarkable effect. Exercise/physical activity is very important. You may also see improvements in your BP and lipids. Go for it!

HgbA1c: Hemoglobin A1c is a test frequently used to monitor blood sugar trends over time. Elevated HgbA1c is an indicator of diabetes, or risk of developing it. Diet, weight loss and exercise is invaluable in reducing the chances of developing diabetes, hyperlipidemia and hypertension. Good luck with your new diet and exercise program!!

Yes, it does.: Keep your weight under control by following height and weight charts on the web. Follow a diabetic diet. You will be ok.
