Is it true that blood fasting sugar, a1c, tg increase with aging. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not true: Although almost all diseases are more common as we age, they are still disorders no matter what age. It is not normal for people to have fasting glucose >100, hba1c >5.7% or triglycerides >150 no matter what age you are.
