A member asked:

Blood work results ,chloride was low at 98 mmol,anion gap was high at 17.4 ,glucose was high at 108 mg/dl, a1c was 6.2 ,albumin/globulin ratio 2.0?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prediabetes: Hi. That A1c is above normal, & if that glucose is FASTING, it is too (it's not abnormal if it's not fasting). They demonstrate "prediabetes", the abnormal state between normal & diabetes. What was your bicarb/total CO2? Unless it was low, anion gap (a calculated value) doesn't mean anything; it's useful in states of ketoacidosis, lactic acidosis, etc). A:G ratio is fine too. Eat healthy, exercise
