Op here. It was a one off test from my physical. I am going for a follow up and I suspect they will do an A1C next. I just don't want to mess with type II. I have seen the consequences from family members.

Take metformin. I’m Indian vegetarian and my a1c went down within months, and I also lost about 10 lbs. i don’t coma void all sugar but try to be more conscious. The medicine has worked great!

I lost 10 pounds and went from prediabetic to normal. I wasn’t even overweight - was 145lbs at 5’7 and am now 135lbs. I also started exercising. I am now 50 and have had no problems with my blood sugar for 10 years. You can do it OP! It really motivated me to change my lifestyle

I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes a year ago and didn’t get much advice besides, “cut out bread and pasta.” There are some great dietitians online who specialize in pre-diabetes/high blood sugar/diabetes advice, and most of them say pairing carbs with protein, fat and fiber is the way to go. Also walking after meals. I have been able to lower my levels out of pre-diabetes range following this advice but still working on higher sugar - the doctor I saw this time said treat exercise like a prescription.

My doctor said my prediabetes may be "predisposed" since my blood sugar/glucose keeps rising and I am not overweight, eat fairly balanced meals and exercise regularly. But I'm trying to see if walking right after meals would help.
