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.

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.

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?
