A member asked:

My blood glucose hardly goes below 100. often it's as high as 125 after 5 hr. meals. is it a sign of serious problems in the future. my a1c is 6.5.?

Agree with Dr. K: You have pre-diabetes. Losing about 10% of your weight, exercising at least 150 minutes week and reducing carbohydrate intake may help in preventing progression of disease. It would be useful to consult a nutritionist for dietary advice. You doctor may wish to prescribe medication usually, metformin to address the abnormality.
