A member asked:

I got my a1c down to 5.9 does that mean i'm not diabetic anymore?

Good for you.: Even better news. You're still diabetic. But you've proved you can manage it. It's under control. Keep it that way. You are likely to avoid the worst of the long-term consequences. Congratulations.

I had gestational diabetes in the past. On 2/22/20 my A1C was 5.5 and fasting 91, both normal. However I decided to spotcheck after a meal and it was 165 1 hour after I had sushi. Does this mean Im prediabetic now? Do non diabetics spike this high?

A member asked:

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?
