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 Test (Hemoglobin A1c) Test or Take a FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar )Test Test

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi, I just received my blood report, and it shows that I am in the prediabetic range, with an HbA1c level of 6. I would like to consult on what steps I should take to manage this condition.

My mother is 53 years old and has diabetes. Her recent blood report shows, serum creatinine is 1.0 mg/dL, blood urea is 33 mg/dL, cholesterol is 144 mg/dL, fasting blood sugar is 104 mg/dL, and post meal blood sugar is 177 mg/dL. Are these results concerning, and what should be the next steps for her care?
