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.

Take a HBA1C (GLYCATED HEMOGLOBIN) Test or Take a GLUCOSE, FASTING Test

Sir, I recently had a fasting glucose test, which showed 103 mg/dL, and an HbA1c test, which showed 12.52 percent. Is it possible for these results to be correct together, or is there a mismatch?

Can I still be in the normal range if my first HbA1c is 6.5?

Why do doctors advise the HBA1C test every three months?
