I assume you are joking ;) I know the a1c looks good, but I've also read plenty about how the A1C shouldn't be used for diagnosis as there are several things that can falsely lower or raise it.. that it should only be used to measure if the persons average blood sugar is improving or getting worse.

Thanks! I guess there are different criteria for the diagnosis of prediabetic. The first doctor didn't explicitly say prediabetic, he was pretty casual anyways, as it was just a general checkup. But the paper with the blood result, showed a FBG of up to 5.5 as normal. It seems like there...

Yes, sorry.. Values are in mg/dl, it's 5.7mmol. Perfect? I know it's not diabetic, but it's past the threshold for prediabetic.

During a health checkup the fasting blood glucose of 102 came up. The doctor recommended me to be more active and eat less carbs. I'm 37 years old, male and my BMI is 24. Afterwards they also measured the A1C, which was 4.8% To be honest, I was kinda surprised about the fasting blood glucose...
