My HbA1C is 5.8 percent. Is it normal or do I have to worry about it? Please advise as I am very much worried about it.

An HbA1c of 5.8% falls in the pre diabetic range (5.7 to 6.4%). It does not mean you have diabetes, but its a warning sign to be careful. With good diet, exercise, and weight control, this can be reversed. No need to panic just start healthy habits.
Dr. Shaik Suggests...
Take a HBA1C (GLYCATED HEMOGLOBIN) Test or Take a GLUCOSE, FASTING Test
