Is an a1c of 7.0 and fbs 141 diabetic?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: A fasting BG of >126 is considered diabetes. A1c of 6.5% or greater is also very likely to be diabetes so you have both. Time to see someone who can start you on medication such as metformin

Yes & yes: Hi. So, you're diabetic. Now get to work adopting a healthy lifestyle! Eat healthily, exercise regularly FOR LIFE (not just the next couple of weeks or months). Talk with your doc about the great new type 2 drugs out there that control blood sugar without risk of hypoglycemia AND help with weight loss! Best time in history to be a diabetic! Be healthy!
