A member asked:
I've been diagnosed as pre-diabetic due to fasting gluc of 110 (but normal a1c). is diabetes likely in future, and if so, in approx how many years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can mitigate: You have about 60% chance of avoiding diabetes, were you destined to get it, by losing about 10% of your weight through exercise and diet. I can not over-emphasize exercise. At a minimum 30 minutes of exercise at least 5 days a week. Gradually increase the intensity of exercise. Consult a nutritionist for diabetic diet.

How accurate is the fasting glucose blood test? Mine showed 117. Dr said may be pre-diabetes but test not accurate. Do I need A1C to confirm? I did A1C in June and it was normal, 5.3.
