One thing I forget to add is that a value of 6.2 for an A1C is indicative of pre-diabetes. If you are already a type 2 diabetic, that would be good news for someone like me. A "normal' value, I believe, is 5.7 or less. So your PCP should be able to guide you for reducing your blood pressure and watching your A1C trends. Both of these circumstances contribute greatly to CKD. The secret to better health at this stage is to be proactive.

Last thing, congratulations on your upcoming marriage, and I sure your wedding dress will fit fine.

Thanks!I always had a A1C around 6.2 until about 7 years ago then got it down to 5.4 and kept it between that and 5.7 until recently then back up again! Seems I turned 70 and everything went south! Have stage C
esophaguses and ulcers, and now this stage 3 kidney, high blood pressure and A1C. Was always healthy. Only eat whole foods. No sugars or carbs!! Exercise regularly!
