Prediabetes
I have a healthy weight of 63 and height of 5'8. I walk and play badminton often. Over the last 3 months i was very stressed and eating habits were bad, smoking, drinking , eating junk and sweets. I developed a skin infection after coming from a vacation for which i was given antibiotics and its healed but i was recommended some tests and it showed hba1c of 5.7 under the prediabetes range. My father and paternal grandfather have been diabetic. What steps should be taken by me to address this and how serious is hba1c of 5.7 ?
