Hi,thanks for query.The normal value of HbA1C is less then 7.You can avoid medicines at present and do good diet planning and reduce your weight if you are over weight.Repeat your HBA1C after 3 months and if not normal you may need medicines then.apart from this please ask your first degree relatives to get their blood sugar checked.wishing you good health.

Hello.Welcome.You have not mentioned whether this blood sugar level of 122 mg% is fasting,PP or random.Your HBa1c definitely proves you to be diabetic.Keep getting your fasting and PP sugar done every 15 days.Start regular exercises and avoid sweets and saturated fats.If not careful you can land up with full blown diabetes.Good luck.
