DM: Type 1 diabetes and Hashimoto's may coexist because both of them are autoimmune disorders. Your numbers don't suggest DM.

Question 3

what does it mean if fasting glucose is 101, but a1c is 5.1?

: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, the data you provided is not diagnostic of prediabetes.

how can i keep my glucose from falling during work hours?! my a1c is 5.2. i have to constantly eat, i cant stand it! it always falls to 65 right before my shift is over. i work behind a desk but active all day. any advice?!

Accepted Answer

Check up needed: Hi. It is not usual at all and a check up needs to be done, there are some hyper metabolism situations or even a tumor like an insulinoma, which secretes insulin and drops glucose levels. Please go see a physician, internal medicine or endocrinology to better assessment.

Question 8

what is glucose w a1c of 6.1%?

Accepted Answer

HBA1C: Is a form of hemoglobin that is measured to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time typically 3 months. Hba1c level upto 5.9 % are considered normal.  6.1 % is mild elevation. If you are not a diabetic then this would be considered normal in most cases.

Question 9

glucose a1c test showed 7.4. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

A1c 7.4: That means you are not taking good enough care of your diabetes.

May not be your fault but that of your doctor.
Make a return doctor's visit and/or see a diabetes educator.

Question 10

how can someone have a high a1c result and normal glucose reading?

Accepted Answer

The A1C measures: your glucose continuously over the past 3 months. So one glucose reading can be normal but you are spiking above normal at times if your AIC is high. Think of the A!C as an average glucose overr the last 3 months. If it is high,you  are having some abnormal sugars.
