A member asked:
Could you have diabetes if your fasting glucose level and hba1c levers are normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: If both HbA1c and fasting glucose are normal you are most likely fine. Occasionally people are having much higher sugars AFTER they eat (measured 2 hours) and are diabetic without knowing it. This would have been reflected in the A1c though which is why I think you're probably fine!

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?
