[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1605293, member: 438800"] Can we nail that ambiguity? Did they do the test twice or something? (If you don't know, that is another question worth asking your GP.) By the way, according to some sources the HbA1C test has a margin of error of plus or minus 0.5 percentage points. So if they did two tests, the fact that the results are different is par for the course. (As far as I know, and to be confirmed with the doctor.) Here in America, 5.6% is "normal" but 5.8% is "pre-diabetes." Also, you have three of the symptoms of diabetes: thirst, frequent urination, neuropathy. But those things can have causes other than diabetes. Welcome, and my best wishes. You should be able to sort out the basics soon, with the help of your GP. This forum is a great place for support and (non-professional) advice. [/QUOTE]
