I've just got my lab results back, and I'm a bit confused about them. My hba1c level is 5.1, which I know falls within the normal range of 4.6 to 5.6. But my fasting glucose level came back as 108, and I've read that the normal range is usually 70 to 100. What could be the reason behind this?

I'm really worried about something, and I hope you can help. I've noticed that my chest is developing in a way that looks like a female breast, and it's getting me quite stressed. I'm really hoping to find a solution for this, but I would prefer not to have surgery. Also, I've picked up a habit of masturbating twice a day, and I really want to stop doing it altogether. Any advice on how I can deal with these issues?
