I had a 5.3 a few years ago and I will agree that I had more lows during the three months preceeding that result than I had previously. My doctor would think that anyone with a 4.3 had been having many, many dangeroud hypos. I hope that is not the case with you. Good luck!

I'm not on any form of meds for my pre-diabetes. When diagnosed, I opted to try lifestyle changes first (shifted to low GI foods, added exercise [up to 1 hr/day now]). I haven't had any symptoms of hypoglycemia and I wouldn't expect any without taking meds. I was diagnosed with Anemia 3 years ago but it was not, necessarily, the form that can cause the A1c misreadings (a GSP could provide evidence that it is).
