A member asked:
Had a a1c test done said it was 5.9 my blood sugars are fine throughout the day can this be a indicator of prediabetes?

Yes, it can.: The answer to questions like, "Can this be...," is often YES. That's because so many things are possible in life. A person in her late 60's has a primary care doctor, and that doctor can evaluate for conditions that lead to an increased Hgb A1c test result. High average blood sugars is the main reason, but there are other conditions that can give a slightly high number when sugars aren't bad.
