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.

Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...

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

Glucose in my urine test shows present + + + +. What does this mean? I am diabetic for 6 years. The rest of my urine test report is normal. My blood sugar level after breakfast is 248, checked at home. Does this indicate early kidney disease? Please reply.

What causes HbA1c to increase?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I was diagnosed with diabetes 4 months ago, and my doctor advised me that I would not need medication if I improved my lifestyle. At that time, my HbA1c was 6.5. Since then, I have focused on my diet and walked regularly for 1 hour daily. After 3 months, my HbA1c dropped to 6.01. Today, I checked my blood sugar using a testing kit, my fasting reading was 100 mg/dL, and 1.5 hours after eating, it was 102 mg/dL. Does this post meal result mean low sugar? Is this something to worry about, or does it mean my diabetes is under control or even reversed? Please clarify what this indicates.
