Hba1c is high so some treatment is definitely required. However, you may try lifestyle modifications first. Would like to know other reports and evaluate his condition first. Meanwhile you may also visit my website to learn more about lifestyle mediicine. If you wish we can also start you on medication. Please consult with all reports available.

Dear lybrate-user, your father seem to be in a prediabetic stage which can be reversed at this stage. There is no harm in trying medicine, but I suggest you go for natural herbs first. I have seen exceptional results with himalaya diabecon ds. Your father may also add himalaya bael as it not only corrects blood sugar levels but also aids in digestion. I also advice your father not to take any stress. Do walking and weight lifting according to his capacity. With proper measures, prediabetes can be reversed. But if lifestyle changes are not made, in 10 years prediabetes is likely to turn into type 2 diabetes. I wish him all the best in recovery.
