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.

I had a postprandial blood sugar (PPBS) test 2 hours after a meal, and the result was 250. Can you explain why this level is high? Also, can I take fish oil (Omega 3) for cholesterol management?
