Your most recent HbA1C, of 5.9 is suggestive of prediabetes. It’s the gold standard to diagnose diabetes and shows average glucose control over the past 3 months. Fasting glucose is normal. Your labs from 3 months ago were normal. Stress , in addition to diet, lack of exercise and weight gain can worsen sugar control. There is 15% risk of progression to diabetes annually in absence of intervention
Next Steps
Weight loss of 10%, limiting sugars/ carbohydrates, and exercise 30 min daily 5 times a week is recommended. Recheck HbA1C , fasting glucose, insulin and pp sugars in 3 months. If HbA1C remains same or worsens, you will require medications
