Yes, with medications and regular exercise along with diet control, one can bring HbA1C levels lower.

Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...

Take a IGF-1 Test (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) Test or Take a DENGUE IGG - ELISA/ELFA - KA Test

My question is about whether labs have different reference values because of the reagents used in processing. My lab report shows an A1C value of 6, and the lab normal range shows up to 6.2. I understand that normal values are usually less than 5.7, but in this case, can 6 be considered normal since the lab range shows up to 6.2? I understand fasting is high, but please restrict your answer to differences in lab normal ranges.

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.
