Q. Blood sugar fasting 97, HbA1c 6. 89 and mean blood glucose 144. Why?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your message. I think I can help you.

• This is suggestive of a possible impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). I would suggest getting an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).

• While many do consider it out of date, I think in your case it would yield the diagnosis.

• Upload the report for further suggestions. Meanwhile, start diabetic diet. Avoid sugar and high carbohydrate diet.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• If the OGTT comes out to be positive, then you may be a diabetic.

• As of now, I would suggest that you have a predilection for diabetes.

• However, high calorie diet may have influenced HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin), in which case OGTT should be normal.

• Stress as such would not cause this.

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
