Hi doctors. fasting glucose 101. a1c 5.1-- which value is more, meaningful, more important, more concerning? how are they interpreted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fasting Blood sugar done on 2 to 3 different occasions is the best way to know the real value. Blood sugar up to 90mg is of no significance(it is normal) . If it is in the range of 100-125 mg, that is abnormal(prediabetes) and needs medical check up. Are you overweight? If yes, cut down on calories as the best solution if you weigh over 80 KG and have prediabetes..
