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

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.

I want to know about the lab report of my father? He is a diabetic patient and feels very lazy and nervous. He was treated for chest infection pneumonia 6 months ago in ICU with antibiotics.
