"Diabetic" HAIC ?'s: At age 28, without dramatic dietary changes or weight gain, it is unusual for HA1C to rise from "5.0 to 8.2", and may just be a lab error. Get another test done with usual consumption of carbohydrates. If the HA1C is still 8 or above, see an internist for guidance.

Repeat with BMP: Without symptoms, must be tested on more than one occasion to confirm
