Is a 6.3 a1c borderline for diabetes?

5.7-6.4: Is pre-diabetes or an opportunity to change and prevent diabetes. What can you do? Eat smart: good portions, whole grains, fruits & veggies. Get moving 60 minutes every day.

If you do not make dramatic and lasting lifestyle changes, you will get diabetes type 2. You need daily exercise, low glycemic nutrient-rich food, stress management, and supplementation with things that help with insulin metab.

Yes: Hi. Yes, if you're not diagnosed with diabetes, and the A1c was done for diagnostic purposes, that would be in the "pre diabetes" diagnostic category. Eat healthily and exercise regularly for life! Have blood pressure & cholesterol problems addressed. Good luck!
