Numbers are numbers: Numbers are numbers, with little meaning unless a doctor sees the patient's whole picture. That said, 104 and 5.8% are in the pre-diabetes range. That may mean one's pancreas does not make enough insulin and/or one's insulin does not work properly anymore. Such a person's primary care doctor can advise on how people prevent reaching the diabetes stage, for example: losing 7% of one's weight, etc.
