Borderline Diabetic

[The Legend]

My sugar tests are mostly borderline and have been for decades... always below. This year I'm a tiny bit above. Having said all that my hb1ac is below. I tend to not eat many sweets until I eat a lot of them. I have a good BMI. My cholesterol LDL a bit high, overall is under. Would anyone have any any guidance here?

 

I'm not a huge consumer of eggs, eat a small loaf of wheat bread a week (sugar), eat half the rice given to me, eat Thai food in food court about 5x a week. Wife cooking at home is healthy mostly. I eat lots of pork, some chicken and beef. I occasionally binge on ice cream.

 

I believe many of my issues come from not enough cardio and exercise. That much of this like my BP is metastatic.

 

Thank you

I think you mean genetic, not "metastatic".

 

If your Hba1c  is consistently below 6  you are not borderline diabetic. The A1c is the best test for this. Fasting blood sugar (which I sssume is what you referred to as sugar tests) can be slightly elevated for many reasons including just the stress of having blood tested.
