A member asked:
My father fasting glucose level is 115. does this mean he is pre diabetic? what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
He should have another fasting glucose done with HbA1C at the same time. If glucose is still btwn 100-125 & HbA1C is btwn 5.7-6.4 then he is prediabetic. However, if HbA1c is 6.5 or higher then he is diabetic, not prediabetic. To tackle prediabetic condition your father needs to lower total calorie intake at least 20% and the reduction is mainly from carbohydrate source + exercise 30 mins/day.
