HBA Test 6.7%, Glucose 145.6. Diet Recommended?
Hi,
Thanks for the query. I have gone through the reports.
Before I answers your query, I must tell you how we make a diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus. These definitions are internationally accepted and followed world over including India.
Fasting Blood Sugar >/= 126 or
Post Prandial (2 Hours) Blood Sugar >/= 200 or
Random Blood Sugar >/= 200 with Symptoms such increased thirst/urination, weight loss or
HbA1c >/= 6.4
Now Till few months ago, HbA1c was not used for diagnosis.
However, recently it has been included.
Your HbA1c is 6.7 % and is on higher range though not a diabetic range according to American Diabetic Association protocol. FBS is 78 and is within normal range
What you should do next..?
1. Do not panic.
2. Get a Formal Fasting and 2 hours Post Prandial Blood sugar for better confirmation.
3. Do regular exercise in the mean while
If still sugars are elevated, you must consult your physician for further evaluation and treatment.
Hope this answers your query.
Do get back if you need any further information
Thanks and Regards
Dr Kiran
