Nondiabetic...last 2 fastings at dr's office were?

Question

99 (8 months apart).

Both A1C's were 5.4

Ok, so I got some responses on here that were saying they were perfect and I got some emails on my email that were real negative and I am scared now...Also my dr. said it's good.

I know it sounds silly but I am that kind of person.

Answer 1

Here are the numbers for both major organizations on Diabetes:

Normal Blood Glucose fasting test

   American Diabetes Association (ADA)                                 70-100

   American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE)    60-100

Pre-Diabetes or Borderline

   Both ADA and AACE                                                         100-126

Diabetes (two separate blood tests required)

   Both ADA and AACE                                                       Over 126

A1C Scores

   Both ADA and AACE     Anything under 6.0 is normal

   ADA                             Anything under 7.0 is an in-control Diabetic

   AACE                           Anything under 6.5 is an in-control Diabetic

A 99 is a normal BG level and an A1C of 5.4 is a very normal level. Your doctor is right, you are not at risk based on these two tests. Relax.

Answer 2

Perfectly NORMAL.

Answer 3

it's fine

Answer 4

You might get varying answers because the blood sugar level is measured in different units in different countries - sometimes by differnt labs in the same country.

Blood sugar level should be between 4 & 7, so you're good!!
