Hello, I have purchased a health policy and the policy issuer has raised concerns over the medical tests conducted from their end. My father HbA1c test has come out marginally increased at 6.2 in his blood report. Because of this, the issuer is not willing to provide the policy to my father. At present, my father is not taking any medicines and this matter is troubling me.

HbA1c of 6.2 percent indicates prediabetes. It is manageable with diet/exercise. Suggest repeating HbA1c for confirmation. Please take an HbA1c test to validate.
Dr. Siri Suggests...
Take a HBA1C (GLYCATED HEMOGLOBIN) Test

View allRespected doctors, my dad took a blood sugar test on 25th July in the afternoon after having lunch. It showed his blood sugar level as 289. To confirm, we took the blood test the next day, 26th July, which showed a completely different sugar level of 125 fasting and 153 after breakfast. After seeing both reports, the diabetologist advised my dad to exercise and walk more. Which sugar level is accurate? The first one taken after lunch or the second report taken in the morning, fasting and after food? Currently, he has not been prescribed any medicines and is taking the morning reading as the accurate one.

I have had three pregnancy losses, the first and second pregnancies ended at 6 weeks, and the third ended at 10 weeks due to cardiac failure. My doctor advised both my husband and me to undergo peripheral blood karyotyping to check for any chromosomal abnormalities. I have attached both of our karyotyping reports. Could you please review them and let me know if the results are normal? Additionally, I would really appreciate your guidance on how to plan for a healthy pregnancy in the future.
