I was talking to my sister today and she reminded me of something she told me five years ago that I had completely forgotten. She had some routine bloods done and one was the A1C or whatever it is - the three month one. She was told she was borderline diabetic. About a month after this she had a follow up fasting test and was then told it was fine. Since that result she has assumed she isn't borderline any more. Her doctor has never mentioned it again. How can this be? Can we get false A1C test results? My sister has been eating anything and everything since and hasn't shown any signs of diabetes.
When I was told I was borderline, I wasn't offered a fasting test. I was just told I would have another blood test in a year. I am now wondering if it is 100% accurate and if I should be asking for a fasting test. I have been very poorly recently and quite stressed out, also quite low in mood. Can illness/stress have an effect on BG results?
I would appreciate your thoughts on all this. Thanks
