My fasting glucose was 95 and my job a1c was 4.8. does this sound normal? if i were diabetic would these tests show something?

Specializes in Family Medicine

Normal: Your fasting bg is on the normal (non diabetic) range as is your a1c. You do not appear to have diabetes with these results, and if you were diabetic, they would usually be expected to be higher. Good job and best wishes.

Fit 35yr, generally eat low carb/sugar, but not keto. Fasting blood glucose has been slightly above 100 on 2 consecutive tests (102 and 105) but A1c is only 4.4 (4.2 lower limit of reference range). Diabetes possible, or ruled out by A1c levels?
