Question 1

what is a normal hba1c test?

Accepted Answer

Under 6: Most laboratories will list the normal range of hba1c as 4-5.9.  
If you have diabetes your doctor will probably try to get your hba1c below 6.5 - but if it can go lower that is good.

Question 2

what is the normal hba1c range?

Accepted Answer

Below 5.7: Current guidelines suggest a hba1c of 6.5 or higher can be used to diagnose diabetes, and that levels of 5.7 to 6.4 can indicate "pre-diabetes".  There is still some debate about whether using an A1c is the best way to look for diabetes. In general we identify and diagnose diabetes too late in our country and many times damage already exists when the diagnosis is first given.

Question 3

can my normal hba1c be normally high?

Accepted Answer

A1C: No,  this is indication that your body is at Hugh risk for developing diabetes. You need to be careful w intake of sweets and try to exercise daily. Also watch your weight if you are overweight.

Question 4

Question 7

what is a normalh hba1c test in a person that is not diabetic?

Accepted Answer

HbA1c: It depends on lab normals. Mostly less than 6 percent. Now many define less than 5.7 percent as completely normal.

Question 8

what does a normal hba1c result for a diabetic (i.e. 5-7) mean?

Accepted Answer

Good control: The goal is an a1c of less than 7 and that correlates to a 90 day average blood sugar of 150 or less. Recent studies indicated that an a1c of 6 was not better than 7 for preventing complications of diabetes but was associated with increased episodes of low blood sugar which can be dangerous.

Question 9

hba1c-6.5, microalbumin cetatinine ratio 119mg/gm other readings are normal?

Accepted Answer

Proteinuria: The hba1c of 6.5% is consistent with overall good diabetes control.  However, the microalbumin ratio is high, suggesting that you are leaking protein through your kidneys.  This can be an early sign of diabetes affecting your kidneys.  You should do a 24 hr urine collection for protein excretion to better assess this.  You likely should be on a ace inhibitor or arb to help protect your kidneys.

Question 10

how is it possible to have high hba1c and normal fasting and post meal sugar levels?

Accepted Answer

Rare but can occur: Either you are not checking your bs at the right time to see the highs, or you might have iron-deficiency anemia which can cause high hba1c without loss of glucose control.  Certain vitamin deficiencies can raise hba1c, african american can have higher a1c, frequent blood transfusion can also do it. The best way to tease this out is to go on continuous glucose monitor. See your doc to discuss.
