You have just risen from the top of prediabetes into diabetic, but you seem to have been detected early in the process - if you are lucky you should be able to slide down closer to normal with some changes in diet - assuming that you have not been doing drastically low carbs already.
 
Welcome dgwinnett. As Drummer said you have crept into the Diabetic range with your latest HbA1c, so now is a good time to start taking action. The condition can be managed using a combination of changes to diet and also an increase in levels of activity.

What was suggested to your u when picked up as pre-Diabetic?
Have you made any changes already.

With a little more information it is easier for us to help you.
