Question 1

my diabetes very uncontrolled im not able to get it down to my goal which us 8 for now my last  hba1 was 13?

Accepted Answer

Uncontrolled DM: This is best discussed with an endocrinologist and they would need to know the medications you are on, and your diary of what you have eaten over the  last week as well as AM - waking blood glucose,blood glucose level before bed and 2 hours after each meal for a week. f/u/ w/ endocrinologist

Question 2

my mom's hba1 is high(swinging along11)4 more than a year.she is taking a med & now the dr increases the dose but i'm afraid cz it has been long time?

Accepted Answer

Poorly controlled: Diabetics can lead to Micro vascular and macro vascular complications. Poor control is usually due to non adherence to diet or medications. If your mother is compliant then an endocrinologist

Question 3

is a hbaic of 38.6 a concern?

Accepted Answer

Numbers are just...: Numbers are just numbers. Without details and the whole picture, such as why was labwork done, numbers cannot tell much. The result value in this question is an Hb A1c of 5.7%, which is slightly above the reference range. That means it has no special meaning yet but indicates a need to follow-up so that a person can see if the number goes up or down. The ordering doctor can discuss it best.

Question 4

is 5.9 % of hbalc a good level?

Accepted Answer

Prediabetes: No, a HbA1C of &gt;5.6% is abnormal and is indicative of underlying metabolic dysfunction that can lead to diabetes. It is important to find the source (examples can be stress, poor diet, inflammation, obesity) and work on changes to reverse the early blood sugar problems.

Question 5

my hb1ac is 4.3, is it good or bad?

Accepted Answer

Perfect!: Hb1ac  has an upper limit of normal of 5.5
this test does not change quickly; only if your diet, exercise, and/or weight have changed a lot will it change.

Diabetes mellitus is diagnosed by this test at 6.0.

So if you are healthy, your result should put you at ease.

If, however, you rdoctor suspected diabetes, then the lab test may have been in error and needs repeating.

Question 6

is 4.3 good result in getting tested at hb1ac?

Accepted Answer

HBA1C normal: Hba1c is a measure of your average blood glucose and is frequently elevated in patients with diabetes.  A level of 4.3 means your average blood sugar is 77 and you do not have diabetes.  

If you are eating well and feel healthy, 4.3 is a completely normal number.

Question 7

ive seen this in my medical file what does it mean hboc fin?

Accepted Answer

: Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome is one of the meaning of HBOC. FIN is for Finnish ancestry. Your doctor may have used it for some  other purpose. Hope it helps,

Question 8

my suggar level is 158/140. my hb1ac is 5.3.          kindly advise. am i diadiabetic ?

Accepted Answer

MIxed Up Data: That sure looks like a blood pressure reading (and it is high) and not a blood sugar count. The hemoglobin a1c you describe is not diabetic unless this level is what you get on medication for diabetes.

Question 9

what is h5n1?

Accepted Answer

Avian influenza: Since late 2003, avian influenza virus h5n1 has caused outbreaks among poultry across eurasia and appears to have become established as an endemic virus in poultry and ducks. Most cases of human infection have involved close contact with infected poultry, particularly sick or dying chickens. H5n1 refers to the classification of the virus based on its hemagluttinin and neuraminidase antigens.

Question 10

what is the dangous level of hbsag ?

Accepted Answer

Hepatitis B: This is not a numerical test, just positive/negative. If a test for HBsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen) is positive, that person is infected with the hepatitis B virus. If you had a test that has given a numerical result, the report will indicate whether the number is high enough to count as positive. If you remain uncertain about your result, ask the doctor, clinic or lab where the test was done.
