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?

FBS 103 is pre diabetes range. HbA1c 12.5 percent is uncontrolled diabetes. Mismatch suggests long term high sugars. Repeat HbA1c, do PPBS. Consult doctor for treatment.

Take a HbA1c Test (Hemoglobin A1c) Test or Take a PPBS Test (Post-Prandial Blood Sugar) Test

My father does not have diabetes. However, today his fasting glucose was 121 mg/dL, and his postprandial blood sugar (PPBS) was 88 mg/dL. Is this a concern? Why is the PPBS lower than the fasting glucose? How should we proceed? His HbA1c is 6.2 percent
