A member asked:
My glucose is all the time above 120s, hba1c is 6.2 i can't do any activity even stand on my feet for minutes without my sugars constantly raising then dropping with hypoglycemic symptoms. is this prediabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That A1c does put you in the prediabetes category. However spontaneous episodes of hyperglycemia followed by hypoglycemia are not typical. Have you documented blood sugars over 140 & then under 70 when you have these episodes. A 6 hour glucose tolerance test and/or consultation with a diabetologist or endocrinologist for accurate diagnosis & followup would be worthwhile
