I’ve been paranoid of diabetes for the last few months due to mildly elevated fasting blood sugars ranging from 101-106 mg/dL (5.6 to 5.9 mmol). In the United States, these values are considered prediabetic. I lost weight and exercised and ate clean and I did get a fasting glucose as low as 89 mg/dL (4.9 mmol) just 2 months ago. On 2 different occasions, my A1C was calculated at 5.4. Then I went on vacation, ate whatever I wanted and stopped exercising for weeks without gaining week and my fasting started going up again to 5.6 to 5.9. Like my body is sensitive . The highest fasting reading was the 5.9. I can understand that but what I don’t get is how my A1C went down to 5.3 . I know it’s not a huge difference from 5.4 to 5.3 but what the hell? That went down while fasting went up. Any idea what the hell or how that can happen? I’m so afraid of becoming diabetic and have been stressed for months on end . I know in the UK most doctors go by A1C but here high fasting glucose is enough to get a prediabetic diagnosis .
