The HBA1C level of 6.5 signifies that one is prediabetic.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a NEURONAL (PARANEOPLASTIC) AUTOANTIBODIES PROFILE Test or Take a ANTI MITOCHONDRIAL ANTIBODY (AMA-M2) 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?
