A member asked:

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.

My morning blood glucose numbers are typically around 105-110, but my a1c's are between 5.5-5.7. Can this be "normal" or is this "pre-diabetic"?
