Doc wants it?: If you don't have diabetes but do have a doctor who wants you to lower blood glucose levels and have A1c it is time to see a doctor with more sense!

A member asked:

Fit 35yr, generally eat low carb/sugar, but not keto. Fasting blood glucose has been slightly above 100 on 2 consecutive tests (102 and 105) but A1c is only 4.4 (4.2 lower limit of reference range). Diabetes possible, or ruled out by A1c levels?
