M58, my fasting blood sugar and a1c don't match, for example fasting is 150 and a1c is 5.7 why is it so? both done at one month interval.

Looks good.: A1c integrates blood sugar values over the last 60 days whereas the fbg is just a simple point in time. The discordance suggests that your blood glucose is well controlled over the "rest" of the day.

A1c reflects: Average sugar for every second for 3months fingerstick sugar reflects blood sugar that 1 second in time :) so often they don't match.
