Whats a good value for ac1 after a fast for a 55 yr old slightly overweight. her doctor says her result of 6 is slightly elevated . is the result hig?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A1c: Measures average sugar over prior 3 months and doesn't need to be fasting. A value of 6 is at the upper limit of normal. It doesn't matter whether you call it high or normal, she still needs to concentrate on diet, exercise and weight loss as it will definitely worsen over the next several years if she does not change her lifestyle.
