Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am very concerned with my husbands latest lab report, mainly due to his doctor's reaction and strong family history. His morning fasting came back at a 105 and his A1c test came back at a 5.5. His doctor recommends a 5 % reduction in his A1c but from what I have read these numbers are still in the normal range. Is he in danger of developing diabetes? Is he already pre-diabetic or diabetic? Where do you think his A1c should be?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
His HbA1c level is in the normal range, which signifies that in the past three months, his sugar levels were normal. There is no specified value to be a non-diabetic. Patient with an HbA1c of more than seven is considered diabetic. His reports are suggestive of the prediabetes stage. A proper diet and regular physical exercise can help improve it. There is no need for any medication as of now.
