Smile Just diagnosted with pre-diabets

Hello all,

Went in for yearly checkup about 1 year late, and my doctor found that my BG was slightly elevated ran an A1C and told me that I was a 5.8, Diabetes just around the corner.

He told me to go on the South Beach immediately and loose 20 pounds with exercise, as I am about 20 pounds over weight now. Also wants me to come back in 6 months.

Just have a couple of questions.

Can I get this under control with diet and exercise?

I am 50 years old and have been fit up off and on since my 20s. YO YO dieter and workouts.

Based on what I have heard A1C should be run every three months, is that ture?

And as always any advise out there.

PS: have not diabetes in my family but do have high HDL and LDL. HDL undercontrol with crestor and zetia.
