HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The HbA1C is 6.7%, when HbA1c is used to find out if a person is diabetic, a value greater than 6.5% is diagnostic of diabetes.
This means that to diagnose diabetes, the HbA1c has to be more than 6.5%, at 6.7%, you would be classified as diabetic.
Fasting and 2 hour readings may be affected by diet but the HbA1c would not be influenced by this.
A change in diet and increase in physical activity may be needed to help control your blood sugars.
At least 150 minutes a week of activity is needed.
I hope this helps
