A member asked:

55 year old had labs done. 103 fasting and 5.2 a1c. fasting has always been in the 90s. 123 pounds and i try to eat low carb low sugar. taking thyroid and cholesterol med. anything i can do to lower fasting? worried about diabetes and health anxiety?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not abnormal: Your HgbA1c shows.no evidence of prediabetes despite borderline FBS of 103. As a matter of fact, normal FBS may not rule out type 2 diabetes Do you have a family history of type 2 diabetes? All I recommend is avoiding concentrated sweets like candy, pastries, syrups,etc & reducing starches like bread, pasta, pizza, rice,potatoes,etc. Maintain ideal weight. exercise regularly. Continue testing.
