HbA1c is your average blood glucose (sugar) level for the last two to three months. If you have diabetes, an ideal HbA1c level is 48mmol/mol (6.5%) or below.

Take a ANCA By IF (C - ANCA & P - ANCA) Test or Take a Mutton (Meat) Allegy Test

I am 27 weeks pregnant, and my recent tests show HbA1c of 5.3. I also underwent an OGCT, and I am attaching the report. I am concerned about gestational diabetes and would like you to check my results and advise whether I am at risk or not.

Hi, my wife is pregnant and currently 17 weeks along. We had blood sugar and routine urine tests in March, September, and October. Blood sugar was in the normal range (76 to 77) and urine tests were normal. In November, sugar was 1+ in urine. I am worried as she has a family history of diabetes. What will be the medication during pregnancy? We are happy with our doctor as she said we need to closely track it. I am posting this for my clarification and satisfaction.
