Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your HbA1C is in borderline values.
This means that it is in the higher level of normal ranges, indicating possible increased risk for diabetes.
There is nothing to worry about for the moment!
I would recommend you to closely monitor your blood sugar values, and repeat every 3 month HbA1C, in order to be sure that your situation is stable.
I would also recommend some lifestyle modifications:
- a healthy diet. I would recommend starting diabetic diet (decrease sugar intake)
- avoid smoking or alcohol
- closely monitor your blood lipid profile
- perform a lot of physical activity (it helps manage better your blood sugar, blood pressure and reduce cholesterol levels).
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
