Have Had Blood Sugar Test. Does It Point Towards Diabetes?
Question: Pre-Prandial:
Blood sugar - 86mg%
Urine - nil
Post-Prandial: (after 2 hrs)
Blood sugar - 121mg%
Urine - nil
Hba1c - 6.2
So, does this point to pre-diabetes and/or ternding towards diabetes?
I'm visiting India and the normal values for a1c as per the testing lab are 4-7%...but in the US the normal range is below 5.6.
Am confused and stressed?
Can some one please answer this?
