I've never been diabetic, just had blood work, a1c is 5.7% does this mean i'm diabetic or i just need to diet and exercise?

Hemoglobin A1c: For a detailed answer to your question check this site: http://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/a1c-test/details/results/rsc-20167939 Your results indicate an increased risk for diabetes, but not diabetes itself. I suggest you make a plan regarding diet and exercise with your doctor to stay healthy. Best wishes!
