Rise in HA1c: Yes. This value of HA1c is quite high, and indicates protracted hyperglycemia of significant proportions. Pregnancy can induce gestational diabetes. Your doc must have glucose values. This requires expert management.b

What is the A1C in diabetes testing? A1C shows 5.8 5.7-6.4 % It shows pre-diabetic. Just exactly what does pre-diabetic mean as opposed to actually being diabetic? Is this something like being pre-pregnant?
