Welcome to H.C.M. I am Dr Krishna Dubey.

I really appreciate this kind of hard work.

You are going in good direction.

Your HbA1c value is normal.
Fasting glucose tests provide an indication of your current glucose levels only,

whereas the HbA1c test serves as an overall marker of what your average

levels are over a period of 2-3 months
Its mean that your sugar level of last 2- 3 months in under control.

Keep it up.
Thanx.
