HbA1c 5.8%

[israr]

Hi all,
I did another test after 3 months. Today my result is 5.8 %. Three months ago it was 5.6%
Is that mean I am getting worse? My doctor said nothing to worry and i have good control over diabetes without any medicine. But i am still worry. From 5.6 to 5.8 getting higher. Please advice.

I wouldn't worry about it, a score of 5.8% is excellent. All tests have some degree of built in experimental error, this could be what you are seeing here. Even if it isn't, HbA1c is only a rough indicator of control, there could be all sort of physiological reasons why it might have increased a small amount.

Thats a great result well done! I can but only wish

Looks fine to me, everyone's fluctuates and 0.2 is nothing to worry about!

That's a very good result. It's in the 5% club as people call it. Mine just went up from 5.3 to 5.5 and my endo was pleased with me. It doesn't mean that you are getting worse at all. Your next one could well be lower.

Dear all, thanks for your comments. I feel better now.

Those were exactly my readings! I just assumed natural variance in testing-by the way I'm still healthy and winning badminton matches at 5.8 so it's nothing to be worried about!
