I'm a bit concerned about my blood sugar levels. My latest HbA1c result was 5.2 and my fasting blood sugar was 104, with a mean plasma glucose of 102.5. I'm trying to figure out if these numbers are within the normal range or if I should be worried. Could you help clarify this for me?

A fasting blood sugar level of 104 mgdL is slightly above the normal range. The normal range for fasting blood sugar is typically considered to be less than 100 mgdL. Since your HB1AC is 5.2, which is within the normal range, and your mean plasma glucose is 102.5 mgdL, it is recommended to monitor your blood sugar levels closely. You may consider making lifestyle changes such as increasing physical activity and following a healthy diet. In some cases, medication such as Metformin may be prescribed to help manage blood sugar levels.
