Hello,
I am new here and really appreciate your help!
Today I got the results of the lab test :
A1C was completely normal ( 34 mmol/mol ) but the fasting blood glucose test (FBG) was high in two different days.
In one day it was 7.2 mmol/L , the other day 7.5 mmol/L
I normally eat my main meal at around 10:00 PM and then have a cup of tea with some suger.
I fasted 12 hours and then did the test the next morning.
I am 29 y/o. My weight is about 80 k.g . There are no symptoms or anything. I just want to know if I have DM so I did the tests. I totally understand that A1C could give a more clearer look into the Glucose levels in the past 90 days, but still 7.5 is pretty high for a 12-hours fasting levels !
According to my GP, there's no need to worry at all. She thought it might be elevated because I eat my main meal in the late evening, but I am still concerned because high FBG on two different days simply means diabetes. Even if I ate my main meal at that time, 12 hours should be enough to reduce the FBG to the normal range.
Do I need to worry ? what is your advise ?
