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

My test report in March/April showed HbA1C 9.0, and my current report shows HbA1C 4.6. I used to take insulin, but since September I have been taking tablets as prescribed: Glyciphage SR 500 twice daily before meals and Voglitor MD 0.3. My current FBS is 92 and PPBS is 128. Kindly let me know what I should do?

My mother is 53 years old and has diabetes. Her recent blood report shows, serum creatinine is 1.0 mg/dL, blood urea is 33 mg/dL, cholesterol is 144 mg/dL, fasting blood sugar is 104 mg/dL, and post meal blood sugar is 177 mg/dL. Are these results concerning, and what should be the next steps for her care?

My father does not have diabetes. However, today his fasting glucose was 121 mg/dL, and his postprandial blood sugar (PPBS) was 88 mg/dL. Is this a concern? Why is the PPBS lower than the fasting glucose? How should we proceed? His HbA1c is 6.2 percent
