HbA1c test measure the average level of glucose during last 3 months.Hence you can go both with empty stomach or after taking food.

Yes, at 6.1 this is a pre diabetic level.
From 5.7-6.3 is pre diabetes.
At 6.4 you are diabetic.
Keep up the excercise, but you must watch your carbohydrate consumption. Bread, rice, pasta potatoes fruit juice and more than 2 fruits a day will keep you in this state. Increase salads and
non starchy vegetables as well as lean proteins and you will improve.

I was diagnosed diabetic 2 in July,2011. Fasting was 299, PP 326 and Hba1c 10.6 !! I was administered Meformin 500 mg twice a day.With all other precautions on diet and exercise I could bring down the HbA1c to 5.9 in Aug,2012. I quit medicine to see the HbA1c behavior. Diet control and 70 minutes evening walk continues. During the Non-medicine period my glucometer reading of fasting was always in the range 100-85 but sometimes PP went upto 190.
Anyways, after August 27th when HbA1c read 5.9 I again got tested for HbA1c today [3rd Dec.2012] and the reading is again 5.9 with mean as 122.6
Am I right in quitting medicine ? Does 5.9 suggest that I better control diabetes with diet control and evening walk only.
Thanks
