Yes: This is the range for diagnosing pre-diabetes. A low glycemic diet, exercise, and weight loss can help to decrease the HBA1c. Occasionally a medication like meteor min y be prescribed to prevent progression to diabetes. It is important to monitor regularly to ensure that diabetes has not developed.

Prediabetes.: You've defined the HgbA1C range of Prediabetes. Below that range is normal blood glucose disposal, and above that is "suggestive of diabetes".
