Your fasting blood sugar is only 2 mg/dl into the prediabetic range, and your A1C is below the prediabetic range of 5.7-6.4%. Focus on ALL cardiovascular risk factors, including daily aerobic and weight-bearing exercise, avoid a sedentary lifestyle; check blood LDL cholesterol (should be less than 70), blood homocysteine (should be less than 9), get to lean weight; avoid fad disinformation.
