A member asked:
My glucose level is 73 but my hba1c is 7.8 am i diabetic? and what is the fastest way to decrease hba1c due to work requirement. any food suggestions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Hemoglobin a1c is a good measure of diabetes status. A normal reading is around 5. A reading of 7.8 is very abnormal. The good news is you can change that by what you eat - go low carb (search low carb diets on the internet). That number will change slowly though because a1c is a 3 month average of blood sugar levels.
