What Do This Test Result From HbA1c And FBG Indicate?
Dear Doctor,I recently had a HbA1c test and the result was 8.6%. I m female, 45 years old and overweight.After 11 days I had a FBG and 2hpp test. The FBG result was 84 and the 2hpp was 80.I m confused - does this mean I have diabetes considering my FBG and 2hpp were in the normal range? Could the high HbA1c be the result of something other than diabetes?Thank you for your help.

Hello and welcome.
Although your current values are normal, the hbA1c predicts the control of blood sugar in the past. And this level clearly indicates a poorly controlled blood glucose level indicating diabetes and requiring correction. Do not get confused. But I would still recommend repeat tests for the next few days just for confirmation.
Best wishes.
