Your A1C: is normal, and a change from 5.3 to 5.4 is not a significant one. The best way to lower Hemoglobin a1c is a healthy diet and exercise regimen (with the blessing of your primary care doctor, of course). Hope this helps!

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?
