Doesn't appear so: While the HDL appears OK, the HgBA1C is in non-diabetic range. If you are truly concerned about pre-diabetes, there are some other tests to reassure you including a fasting glucose level in conjunction with a C-Peptide level (which is the body's precursor for Insulin), or a regular Insulin level, as well as a fructosamine level. Should these all be normal, no worries! Increase exercise for HDL.

Good evening doctors. My bloodwork showed glucose fasting 101. In the past my fasting glucose was around 93, but within normal range. A1c is 5.3 Could these blood test results suggest or indicate prediabetes or diabetes?
