You should be concerned…: A hemoglobin A-1 C of 5.8% puts you in the prediabetes range. That means you are at risk for developing overt diabetes particularly if you do not watch your diet or engage in regular exercise to inhibit progressive weight gain. The positive family history also increases your risk to develop overt diabetes. High blood pressure and high cholesterol are comorbidities and increase risk for cardiovascular complications.
