the key is to stay the course with your doctor to see if anything else shows up. as for your a1c it is just above normal (pre-diabetes range is 5. 7-6. 4). focus on lifestyle factors such as exercise getting enough sleep and diet. you do want to lower your sugar intake but also add nutrient-rich foods like plant based items (fruits vegetables whole grains healthy fats like olive oil and legumes) to your diet. a protein source at most meals and snacks can help maintain blood sugar levels as well. if your a1c doesn't come down after making some changes consider seeing a registered dietitian. for more on pre-diabetes see this article.
