A member asked:
I have labs done every 6 months for thyroid. glucose is always in the lower 90s. a1c for 3 years has been 5.3. today fasting glucose was 101 a1c today 5.3. very worried!! does one time fasting over 100 make me prediabetic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: One reading of glucose of 101 does not make you pre-diabetic. If you are even slightly overweight, it would be useful to lose weight. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.

Low carb/low sugar diet for many years. Very fit, active& not overweight. 2 consecutive morning blood tests showed mildly elevated fasting glucose (101 & 102), but non-fasted glucose is lower somehow & A1C is great (4.4%). Concerning for prediabetes?
My A1c is 5.9 my fasting glucose is 91. Am I prediabetic? My BMI is 20.7 I do exercise 2-3 times a week. What should I do? Is it serious situation?
A1c 5.4% Average Glucose is 108 and fasting insulin 19.9 uIU/mL in 19 year old male with Hashimoto's. Are these levels common with thyroid issue?
I'm pre diabetic so check often. When I went for blood work, I tested at home and my fasting glucose was 88. Three hours later at lab was 106. Still fasting. Why the variation in readings?. My meter is within the parameters of the strips?
Please explain why.. if my Estimated Mean Plasma Glucose is 110.47 mg/dl from lab converts to A1c of 5.9% ..that doesn't seem to correlate. Fasting 79?
