A member asked:

What does an hba1c test result of borderline low range (4.5) mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Good for you: The ranges are set to include most but not all healthy folks. I would not be at all concerned -- in fact, as a lab physician / pathologist, i'd urge you simply to ignore any lab that's not clearly out of kilter unless there's a specific reason for concern.
