Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query. HbA1c%6.5 is diagnostic for diabetes, hence treatment is needed to control blood glucose. Looking at you weight & height, it is clear that with aBMI of26. 16 kgs/ Sq met, you are overweight. Your ideal body should be55. 8 kgs, so there is14 kgs extra weight. Hence, weight reduction will help in controlling blood glucose plus even BP. Thanks.
