These findings suggest no major hemoglobinopathy, but presence of abnormal alpha chain may indicate a carrier state (alpha thalassemia trait). Genetic counseling may be helpful.

Can an Hb1ac (9.2) be brought to 6 or below, and how?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I recently had my HbA1c tested, and the report indicates that I am in the borderline diabetes range. I believe stress may be a contributing factor. I am really concerned and need guidance on dietary changes to help manage this and regain my fitness. I also have hypothyroidism for 11 years and take Thyronorm 75 mg regularly. Please advise on the best approach to manage both my blood sugar and thyroid health.
