Your Hgb A1c is a bit high greater than 6.5 is indicative of DM. Your fasting glucose of 115 is lower than the threshold of 126. Would follow up with MD and get glucose tolerance test. Some type II diabetics manage their diabetes with weight loss and diet . Follow up with MD/ endocrinologist. Poorly treated DM can have major health effects https://diabetes.org/diabetes/a1c/diagnos

Agree with Dr. Glicksman. If you lose 10% of your body weight and exercise at least 30 minutes/day, you may be able to reverse or at least limit the damage from the metabolic disorder,
