Hi, I just received my blood report, and it shows that I am in the prediabetic range, with an HbA1c level of 6. I would like to consult on what steps I should take to manage this condition.

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?
