You can work with your PCP or an endocrinologist but it may be good to see a nutritionist/dietitian to help you modify diet to reduce A1C rather than wait for you level to go from 6.9 to 7.0.

I am prediabetic and my mom had type 2 diabetes. My A1C is below the level that they prescribe the new medications. I find it frustrating that our healthcare system waits until people get sicker to reach a certain level before doing anything. They are still focused on illness and prescription medication and not wellness/prevention. We all suffer as a result and waste a lot of money for poor health outcomes and poor patient quality of life.

One of the things they recommend is exercise, but it's not possible for me to do enough to do any good. Shouldn't be hard to look up A1c and diet.
