Yes Mr. lybrate-user, hba1c more then 6.4 labels you as diabetic patient. Looking at your age, these levels are good as control target, as you are managing with diet and exercise alone. If it crosses 7.0,I will advice you to visit an endocrinologist or diabetologist near your place, or consult me online for starting a medicine called Metformin. But under observation. Till then continue checking sugars atleast every 3 months and follow a regular diet and exercise plan.
