To determine if you are prediabetic, you should consult a healthcare professional and consider the following diagnostic criteria:

• A1C Test: A result between 5.7% and 6.4% indicates prediabetes.
• Fasting Blood Sugar Test: A fasting blood sugar level between 100 mg/dL and 125 mg/dL suggests prediabetes.
• Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): A blood sugar level between 140 mg/dL and 199 mg/dL after 2 hours indicates prediabetes.

If your results fall within these ranges, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes such as:

• Healthy Eating: Focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
• Regular Exercise: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week.
• Weight Management: Losing even a small amount of weight can help reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
