A couple of days ago I had an hba1c and fasting bsl done at the lab.
My hba1c came back at 30 or 4.9 and fasting blood sugar level came back 5.0.
I checked my fasting level before I went into the lab and according to my meter it was 6.0 which it is pretty regularly.
from my meter readings I expected my hba1c to be around 36 or about 5.5.
I have iron deficiency which may help explain hba1c but fasting level? I don't get how that could be so different to my meter.
It would be easy to assume my meter was reading higher than it should be but today my fasting level was 3.8 so I don't think it could have been lower than that.
Does anyone have any idea about what might be going on?
I had an albumin test done too which was normal which suggests that I dont have kidney or liver disease which can skew hba1c results.
