As per my blood report, GHb (HbA1C) is 10.3. Does this mean I am diabetic? Can it be reduced? I have never had any symptoms of diabetes.

HbA1c greater than 6.5 confirms diabetes. A value of 10.3 is very high. Immediate lifestyle and medication changes are needed. Please take Fasting and Postprandial Glucose and consult an endocrinologist.

Hi all, I recently had a fasting blood sugar test, and the result came back as 95. Can someone explain what this means and provide suggestions?

He is 41 years old, and today we got his HbA1c test result, which is 7.1 percent. Does this mean he is diabetic? We are really worried. Should he start medication immediately, or is it possible to control it with diet and lifestyle changes? Please advise.
