Hba1c results

Hi. Are those post-meal readings taken 2 hours after a meal?

The important question here is the one @Daibell asks, it's not wild at all if you get these levels after certain foods and the level drops again fairly quickly. We all have different systems but it should be back down to where it was a couple of hours after eating. Personally, I would say 40 is (badly) named pre-diabetic..badly named as it can go down to this with work from being diabetic (how can that be "pre anything"?)...so I, purely personally, would consider my self still diabetic as surely eating a lot of rubbish will increase the levels again. The morning level is a bit high (but may have another basic biological explanation), but if the levels after food you mention are more than 2 hours after a meal..and I don't know what they are before it...then I'd go back to see the doctor. That said..it's not an emergency situation...unless numbers get above 20ish on any kind of regular basis...and your next HbA1c test will be interesting. I'd ask for one if you are worried, but - if these readings are normal a couple of hours after food...then fine.

Not necessarily. I think 2 hours post meal should be <8.5. (NICE) but I think that is still too high. Was the result fasting or random?
