With the AIC test, a 5.6 is considered normal for those controlling diabetes so 5.8 is considered prediabetes and is a pretty good score. Continued low carb dieting and exercise should keep the problem gone if you are well disciplined. I would like to be at 6.0 but have not worked hard enough to manage that recently. My endocrinologist will not see me at all since I am below 7.0 at 6.8 right now. I don't intend to overdo at Christmas time. It would be nice if I lost some weight in the summer and reached 6.0 for my granddaughter's wedding next summer. Right now I can't fit into a nice outfit because of my waist which is too big and I refuse to wear loose tops because I am too old to look pregnant. You are encouraging me very much! Dorisena
