Diet, Exercise, Meds: Elevated A1C levels indicate pre diabetes (over 5.8) or diabetes (over 6.5). Three areas you can work on: Diet (measure portions, less simple carbs, keep a food diary, no fast foods, increase vegetables, lose weight), Exercise (do something daily, do both aerobic and resistance exercises) and Meds (ask your Dr if meds such as Glipizide are right for you). Check your sugars daily to stay on track.
