My Hb1Ac is 5.2 % do I need to take diabetic medicine?
Diabetes medications are generally reserved for people who have diagnosed diabetes mellitus (HbA1c score over 6.5 % or a fasting glucose level over 126 mg/dl). If you have have diabetes and have achieved the HbA1c level of 5.2 % with medication you should make changes only with the approval of your doctor. If you are interested in diabetes prevention, you do not need to rely on medication. Diet and regular exercise to control weight are widely accepted as the most important diabetes prevention measures. A HbA1c of 5.2% is considered to be in the normal range for the general population. Healthy lifestyle under proper professional supervision is the approach I recommend to all of my patients.
