Hi, can someone please explain the difference between the numbers for Glucose Fasting & Hemoglobin A1C/Total Hemoglobin?
I just received some blood results last week and am unsure of their meaning.
Admittedly I haven't been as good as I normally am over the summer months and was expecting an increase but I am not sure how to read these.
Glucose Fasting 5.6 (normal range 3.6 - 6.0)
Hemoglobin A1C/Total Hemoglobin Hi 6.9 <6.0
At first I thought 5.6 was good but the 6.9 I believe is the one I need to pay better attention to, I believe.
