What Does The Following Blood Sugar Level Indicate?
Question: My blood work came back with a nonfasting blood sugar of 107 and A1C of 6.7. My doctor said I have diabetes, but the blood sugar chart here on WebMD looks like that is ok.
Brief Answer:
It is necessary a second result of A1C test for the diagnosis of Diabetes.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear
I have gone through your question.
The diagnosis of diabetes is based on one of three methods of blood glucose measurement on two separate occasions.
1.Fasting glucose test: ≥ 126 mg per dL
2.Two-hour OGTT (75-g load) or random glucose test ≥ 200 mg/dl
3.A1C measurement: ≥ 6.5 percent.
A1C measurement has recently been endorsed as a diagnostic and screening tool for diabetes.This test does not require fasting.
You have a normal nonfasting blood glucose result but your A1C result is ≥ 6.5 percent.
My advice for you is to repeat the A1C test, this is important for the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.
Don't worry your results are not so bad and ,Yes ,you can try diet and exercises to normalise your blood glucose under control(if the diagnose of diabetes is confirmed after the second result of A1C test.)
Hope this information is helpful.
Let me know the second result of A1C test.
Take care.
