Hii my fasting glucose level is 122 while my hab1c is 5.5 %. please advise if the numbers are good or bad.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High glucose: The hba1c of 5.5 is normal, but a fasting glucose of 122 is high (normal under 100). You should have it repeated to see if it was a lab error. If still high, it means you have impaired glucose tolerance, it would be helpful to monitor sugars at home, before and 2 hrs after meals.
