Respected docs, i am 48yrs old. i have bodering a1c for a long time. docs here say its early for treatment. is having long time (2-3yrs) bordering a1c dangerous for the kidneys and the brain. can prediabethis cause harm to these organs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prediabetes: Hgb A1c between 5.7 and 6.4 is considered pre diabetic. Bear in mind that not all prediabetics go on to actual diabetes. Do you have a family history of type 2 diabetes? Are you overweight? Do you get regular exercise? Take prediabetes seriously. Avoid concentrated sweets(candy,pastry,syrups,etc) Cut down on starches. Check blood sugar and A1c regularly. You should have no organ complications
