I can definitely empathize with you. I just found out my A1C rose one point into the prediabetes range [the lowest prediabetes number]. Five years ago I was in the high prediabetes range and almost diabetic and then through diet and exercise I brought it down into the normal range again. But it has been slowly creeping up again. I am determined to work harder and smarter to get my A1C numbers down again. I hope you and I will be okay. I am rooting for you!
