Hi,
6.5 should be value of HbA1c which is measured to check the glucose level in the last 6 months. below value 6 is non diabetic and 6.5 is pre-diabetic which is of little concern. Do regular workout with 45 mins brisk walk and avoid eating more of carbohydrates, for example, rice, banana etc.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
