A1c of 5.6, (previously was in the range for prediabetes, but it dropped on my recent a1c test) but my sugars are so low that i almost pass out. my lowest has been 23 recently and it keeps falling- even though i'm eating the right foods and enough?

Your glucose monitor may be inaccurate. A blood sugar of 23 is incompatible with consciousness. If you're experiencing frequent hypoglycemia, consult an endocrinologist ASAP for evaluation & advice. Appropriate testing,advice&follow-up will be obtained. Avoid eating concentrated sweets in case you're getting reactive hypoglycemia where blood sugar spikes up causing release of insulin&overshoots.

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?
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?
51F. I started taking a statin (10mg lipitor) a month ago and it's increased my blood sugar significantly. My a1c has been in the prediabetes range so I occasionally check it. Is it possible that a different statin would not have this effect?
