Well, my dear, I was diagnosed with a fasting BG of 135 and an A1c of 6.6. While I don't particularly care for my doc, I am very grateful that she caught it early. With a great deal of discipline and a do-over on the way I eat and exercise, I've got those numbers in tight control now. I would say that, at the very least, you should make some adjustments in how you live and see how it looks at your next check-up. Good luck. And keep us posted!.....Judith in Portland

With a A1c of 6.6 is great, it is below 7. As for the word Prediabetis, really means it is a warning sign that all of us have to take better care of ourselves. I went 6 years before going on any tipe of meds. With the seminars I've been to on Diabetis, the phraze of "Prediabetis" is a scarefull attack to scare everyone which is a great way for us who dont want to believe we have the "BIG D". So please take this time to really sit down and calculate what changes you have to do to take the D and put it in perspective and make the progress slow down so you dont have to go 6.6 to 7.5+ in 60 seconds.
