A member asked:
My mean plasma glucose is 111; hba1c is 5.3. my doctor said i don't have diabetes, but isn't my glucose high?

No: A1c between5.7 to 6.5 indicated pre diabetes. > 6.5 indicates diabetes. Having said that diabetes is more like a gradient disease- by that what i mean is with an a1c of 5.3 your risk of diabetes is slightly higher than a person with a1c of 4.8. Life style modifications with diet and exercise will decrease this risk.

My blood glucose was 99mg/dl which the doctor said was on the upper limit of normal, so she ordered a hba1c. Does this mean I might have diabetes, I am so worried! What does this mean?
Is it true that fasting of 8h is must for blood plasma glucose level testing. One doctor said that fasting more than 8h give heigher values. I did about 13h and got 82mg/dL from lab. Now I do not need Hba1c or any test right?
Why am I struggling to keep my glucose levels within range? My glucose spikes even with low carb meals but my levels will also drop really bad. T1 diabetes for almost 3 years I have never struggled like this before. Hba1c under 6.
Could you have diabetes if your fasting glucose level and hba1c levers are normal?
I was able to fast only 4 hours for the HbA1c, it shows I have diabetes, 6.2 percent, glucose 103, insulin 23.6, is the result affected by not fasting long? I ate a big meal 4 hours before test. I have severe reactive hypoglycemia dropping every hour?
