A member asked:
A hga1c of 5.9 in a non diabetic is this normal in over age 65?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A1c: Hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c, Hgb A1c, or glycated hemoglobin) is a blood test used to assess blood glucose levels over time. A value of 5.9 is just mildly high... and it is only a number. One's primary care doctor can evaluate the whole patient to decide what this one number means. It's just a number. The doctor might advise to cut down on starches and avoid sugars, and recheck the test in 3 months.
