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

He recently had a health checkup. Please advise if any prescription is required. He has diabetes, high uric acid, and high blood pressure, and he is already taking medicines for these. Whenever he scratches his skin, it becomes black. Please tell us the reason for this.

I suddenly developed pain in my lower back, buttocks, pelvic area, and thigh joint. I consulted a physician, who prescribed medications for pain and suggested physiotherapy with IFT, which I did for 7 days. The pain gradually decreased and is now localized to one spot in the lower back. I am currently doing back supporting exercises. However, I was recently found to have high blood sugar, with HbA1c of 11.1. Could this high blood sugar be related to my back pain, or will it improve on its own? What special care should I take to manage this condition? Please advise.
