Hi! I was diagnosed prediabetic five months ago. A1C of 5.9. Im thin, but I skipped meals and then drank a sugary frappe each night. I learned to eat healthy. I retested two months ago. My A1C was 5.6. If I test again and get an even lower result, does it mean that my body will be able to tolerate sugar like a normal person, or will my blood sugar shoot up at the first slice of cake? I plan on permanent diet changes, but I want to feel like Im back to normal.
Hello. I would like to extend my appreciation that you have started a healthy eating pattern. As shown by your A1c, your blood glucose levels have begun to decrease. 50 percent of prediabetic become diabetic in 5 yrs. 25 percent remain so and 25 percent regress to normal glucose tolerance. Since you were in the pre-diabetic range, It's prudent to engage in healthy eating and remaining active always. An occasional frapp\u00e9 is alright but stick to something healthy almost always. Take care.
