My HBA1C shows 9.8. But I have never had sugar. Always the report of fasting said 110-120. And PP was 150-160. I want to put my sugar level down without any medicine. Please advice. My weight is 110 kgs and height is 6 feet. Thank you.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. The levels 110 - 120 mg fasting and PP 150 to 160 mg fall in the category of pre-diabetes. With your excess obesity (BMI 32.93 kgs/Sq met), you were very prone to develop diabetes. Once fasting glucose goes over 126 mg and PP 200 mg and above, & HbA1c% >6.5 diabetes is diagnosed. So now with 9.8 HbA1 cc% you have uncontrolled diabetes. When a person is in pre-diabetes state, it is possible to prevent progressing to diabetes or postpone it, by regular exercise, weight control (to near normal) and diet restriction. However, once if the disease develops, then there is no option but to use necessary medications along with diet control and regular exercise. Even now if you manage to cut your weight by over 30 kgs, there is a possibility of coming out of it. That is a possibility. Thanks.
