No diabetes.: Your hemoglobin A1c and your fasting glucose are both normal. You do not have diabetes, and I see nothing to make me concerned that you would be high risk of getting it in the future. Hope that helps to alleviate your worry. Good luck.

How accurate is the fasting glucose blood test? Mine showed 117. Dr said may be pre-diabetes but test not accurate. Do I need A1C to confirm? I did A1C in June and it was normal, 5.3.
