See details: I am assuming you are talking about a HGB a1c level of 5.8. That is normal so you are not diabetic. However, it does not mean that you will never become diabetic.

A 38-year-old female asked:
How accurate is the fasting glucose blood test? Mine showed 117. Dr said may be pre-diabetes but test not accurate. Do I need A1C to confirm? I did A1C in June and it was normal, 5.3.

I've checked my fasting blood glucose levels two other days and it ranged between 80 and 95. Today after a late night meal yesterday my glucose was 111. Should I be concerned about pre diabetes or diabetes?

My latest fasting blood test showed an a1c of 5.9 and blood glucose level of 87. I am at a healthy weight & scared of diabetes. How bad is it?

Fit 35yr, generally eat low carb/sugar, but not keto. Fasting blood glucose has been slightly above 100 on 2 consecutive tests (102 and 105) but A1c is only 4.4 (4.2 lower limit of reference range). Diabetes possible, or ruled out by A1c levels?
