A member asked:

I recently had an a1c test. it revealed my number as 6.5. some places i read this is diabetic-.others say its borderline. is this considered diabetes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diabetes: There's a great debate over this. General concensus is that a1c 6.5 and above is diabetes. Some people start the diagnosis at 6.0 you should talk to your doctor about lifestyle modifications to keep this number at or below 6.5.
