Q: is 6.8% hba1c considered diabetic if fasting is 87 and pp 97?

Yes: A1c &gt; 6.5 is considered diabetes. A1c of 6.8 correlates to average blood sugar of around 145-150. If you check more bs, you probably will see values in this range. If you already had a diagnosis of diabetes, a1c of 6.8 would be considered controlled diabetes.
