When I was diagnosed last December, my Fasting was around 120 and my
A1C was 6.8. And they put me on avandia 2/2. And it really did help. They did it because prediabetes needs to be controlled in the early stages so that when the diabetes does progress it is easier for you to take care of it. Since then mine has progressed pretty fast, due to the complications that Avandia presented my Doctor took me off of that, I now take 4mg of Amaryl and 500mg of Metformin twice daily, and I give myself a 5 unit shot every night of Levimere. So if I were you I wouldn't be hesitant to start the medicine because of the complications that can arise evne from prediabetes.
