Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
The blood glucose levels (fasting) are very much normal. However, PP 141 mg and HbA1c% 6.2, show that you may be in a pre-diabetes state. It is a warning signal.

You can talk to your doctor as the HbA1c is higher that the normal limits while the fasting and PP are not so. It is not clear whether you are already taking any medicines. You can also read about the topic (diabetes and interpretation of the reports and it's management) from the internet and empower yourself with knowledge, which will guide you to take proper precautions.

In healthy people, the HbA1c level should be less than 6% (42 mmol/mol) of total hemoglobin. The term prediabetes is often used to describe a situation where the blood sugar level is higher than normal but not yet high enough to be classified as type 2 diabetes.Yes you need to use medicines by consulting your doctor.

Hello, Thanks for the query. Usually HbA1c % 6.5 is considered as diagnostic. So with 6.6%,it is confirmed diabetes. So treatment with drugs is needed. Thanks.
