I used to do a fasting glucose test to make sure I didn't have diabetes. My results ranged from 83 to 99, and the test standard was 60-99.
Yesterday, instead of the regular fasting glucose test, they gave me the newer HbA1c test. Now my test result show 128.
The other number is 6.1, and the test standard is 3.4-5.6.
So it appears that my reading is a high one that's out of standard. Has anyone been taking these tests for blood glucose, hemoglobin?
Can you explain what these numbers mean, and is it cause for concern? Even if it is, I don't intend to go on any prescription meds, I'll try and correct it myself with supplements, diet and exercise.
Thanks for any input on this.
