Hba1c 4.6... From 6.8, Am I diabetic or not??

Welcome
That is hard to answer. Why do you not believe your doctor? Most would be over joyed to not be D.

 

Hi @sumitrocks2009 and welcome to the forum. An HbA1c reading of 6.8 would not have been in the pre-diabetic or diabetic range. Pre-diabetes starts at 7. You would have been in the non-diabetic (normal) range.

 

My HBA1C is 6.8 and dr said that i am diabetic but here you are telling 6.8 is normal range ? Am confuse .

 

This conversion chart suggests that an Hba1c of 6.8 is an IFCC of 50.8 which is in the diabetic range.

My opinion is that you have had a brush with diabetes and your regime change is controlling it. I would recommend that you continue to take care or you may go back into the diabetic range.

 

How about waist line?

 

There is also the ‘honeymoon’ period to consider. Some people’s pancreas kick back into action for a few months before ‘giving up’ or producing much less insulin than required.

 

Apologies @Tamanna , I think I was going by the '50 shades of diabetes' chart. 6.8 is in the diabetic range.

 

Have you done a glucose tolerance test? Hba1c doesnt tell the whole story if you have been low carbing as have increased your physical activity

 

Old thread I know, but anyway.

Diabetes is characterised and diagnosed by too much glucose in the body. If you have no symptoms, don’t have too much glucose in the body and aren’t using medications, you’re not diabetic. You may still be glucose intolerant, but that’s a different matter, and is the reason you became diabetic originally, not diabetes itself. If you don’t put too much glucose into your body then the diabetes won’t return.

Humans aren’t obliged to eat glucose. The body makes its own. There is no biological requirement to ingest carbohydrate. What society calls “normal” is of little clinical consequence. If you don’t have hyperglycaemia or hyperinsulinemia, the latter being unlikely without the former if you previously had diabetes, then a doctor would not make a new diagnosis of diabetes, regardless of what he or she might think of your dietary habits.

All only in my humble opinion
