Recently, I had a diagnostic test done for insurance purposes. I was diagnosed with a fasting blood sugar of 164 and an HbA1c level of 9, and my insurance was rejected stating that I am diabetic. I would like to know more since no doctor opinion was taken?

Fasting Blood Sugar greater than or equal to 126 mg/dL confirms diabetes mellitus. HbA1c greater than or equal to 6.5 percent also confirms chronic elevated blood glucose levels, your result (9 percent) shows poor glucose control over the last 3 months. It is important to start treatment to avoid complications like neuropathy, retinopathy, kidney disease. A diagnosis should be confirmed by a doctor consultation and repeat testing. Lifestyle changes, medication, and diet counseling will likely be needed.
Dr. Siri Suggests...
Take a Fasting & PP Blood Sugar with Smart Report Test or Take a Lipid Profile Test Test
