Pre-diabetes: Much more concerning is your A1c level which indicates that you are prediabetic. You have better than 50% chance of preventing diabetes by losing 10% body weight and exercising at least 150 minutes/day. See this site for information on A1c and consult your doctor. http://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/a1c-test/basics/results/PRC-20012585
