Have been told I'm pre-diabetic and have just tested blood and reading was 3.7, which is stated below target . Does this matter?

Are you sure about that number because I am prediabetic as a result prednisone and my last A-1 C was 5.9. You are certainly not near that and it actually sounds pretty low.
