My hemoglobin A1C is hitting 6.2 and 6.5 is considered diabetic. Now I sit here contemplating life changes to get this under control before it's to late.

Good Luck, with that
My wife got the same diagnosis about a year ago. Crazy thing is, she's not even remotely overweight. They put her on some medication that is supposed to regulate her insulin.
My father has been diabetic for many years; he doesn't take the insulin shots, but he has to check his blood sugar several times a day and be very careful about his diet.
You'll be fine as long as you don't ignore it. Like you said, just time to make some life changes. On the plus side, a good diet and regular exercise will make you feel a lot better overall.
Try the Paleo Diet, or at least cut wheat out of your diet for a month and see what happens.
Keto would help as well. Cut out bread, pasta, etc.Quote:

Just remember, its a warning, not a death sentence. Get weight under control (if it's not), regular exercise (if you don't already), and watch the carbs. Those are basically the lifestyle changes that top the list.
I need to do all thoseQuote:
