On 1/20/14 my a1c was 5.4 but i've been having symptoms of diabetes like frequent urination, thirsty, light headed. could it be that i have diabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: An A1C is pretty reliable and that level is quite normal not even borderline. There are other causes for frequent urination that you should explore with your doctor.
