A member asked:

Can i still have diabetes although i have a 5.5 a1c with a 88 fasting blood sugar? but still have symptoms

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This isn't diabetes : Look for some other cause of whatever symptoms you may have. Often, just a difficult life situation can mimic symptoms of serious illness and a good physician can help you through this.
