High fasting low A1c

Hello, everyone,

My fasting is 113 (6.3 mmol), while A1c is 4.1% ( about 20 mmol/l).
CGM doesn't show low, but sugar is not raising much as well. Glucose management indicator is 10.4%.
Full blood count didn't change since 2017 when I didn't have these problems.
What does it mean, what to check to find out the cause of low A1c and high fasting? Liver? Pancreatic function? Diabetes type 3c? LADA? Slow progression to type 1? I'm confused, my doctor as well. Actually I went to several doctors, they didn't tell anything.
Thank you in advance
 
If I can and reading through your post, it seems okay. But that depends on when you test.
for a more logical aapproach, test before meals and two hours after.
if the two hours reading is within 2mmols from the pre meal, then there is nothing in that meal is causing problems.
However, if over 2mmols, there is something in this combination of food is causing it. And should be reduced in your dietary intake.
if you want a fasting test, don't do one until you have been up for about half an hour and before eating and drinking.

best wishes
