My Dr. showed me that my FBG in Jan 2017 was 6.0. He just showed me this in late October, and only after I asked (nobody told me...).
When I asked for another test, on Nov 10 2017... it came back higher, at 6.4. However, my A1c was 5.0 (which he said was perfect).
I do have a tremendous amount of anxiety lately, a huge phobia of needles and have been stressing very hard over the test results.
I don't have any symptoms that I am aware of (although I am a self-proclaimed hypochondriac).
I was able to go down more than 10 pounds (5'9" from 188ish to 175 currently) since October 31 2017. I was able to lose the weight with vigorous exercise, diet, and self-control.
However, I fear that my anxiety and anxiousness will spike my numbers.
My doctor doesn't have a whole lot to say other than lose weight and that i'm too young (31) to have such high numbers. Refuses to prescribe anxiety meds.
Any thought of a good A1c and a high FBG?
