A member asked:
If i have had 3 fpg of 129,141,126 over a space of 5 months, would i be considered a diabetic even if my a1c was 5.9?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Two fasting glucose values of over 126 are one of the diagnostic markers for diabetes. It would be prudent to consider yourself diabetic and seek your doctor's advice. It is very important that you try to lose about 10% of your body weight, and exercise at least 30 minutes/day.

Not diabetic. My fasting is sometimes 99. My A1c was 5.3 in November. Is that a normal fasting? I check my blood sug because I have health anxieties.
