Glucose is: Normal, but if she's overweight it will get worse over time -- so diet, exercise and weight loss are important to do now rather than waiting until something happens.

No: A fasting glucose in the mid 80's and an hga1c of 5.7 are both totally normal results. Should not be a concern unless there are other health issues. The stress, however, could be more of a concern if not handled properly.

Low carb/low sugar diet for many years. Very fit, active& not overweight. 2 consecutive morning blood tests showed mildly elevated fasting glucose (101 & 102), but non-fasted glucose is lower somehow & A1C is great (4.4%). Concerning for prediabetes?
Wondering what can cause rise in blood glucose while intermittent fasting, I had recent lab work that included A1C of 5.5. I have heard the fasting can cause a glucose rise from falling insulin levels and increase urine output (water loss). Accurate?
