A member asked:

What does an a1c of 5.7 and a fasting of 117 mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to repeat: If your fasting blood sugar was 117, you should repeat it making sure that you fast at least 8 hours before the test. A plasma glucose level of 117 suggests that you are pre-diabetic. Your A1c is in the normal range. It would be prudent to consult your doctor.For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco or alcohol. Practice safe sex.
