Brief Answer:
Answers to your queries are: No; yes
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
Based on the
HbA1c provided, it is only possible to indicate how well the individuals blood sugar control has been, and based on your HbA1c, your blood sugar control has been poor. With such a level, we can only say that the blood sugar control has been poor from anywhere between 3-12 months, but then again this cannot be accurately predicted sir. So the answer to your first query, is 'No', it would not be possible to find out exactly when you feel into the category of being diabetic. But you should know that this is a gradual process, and not something that can develop overnight, so it would have gradually begun sometime after your last normal blood sugar reading.
Yes it would. If normal
insulin is being produced by the body, and reaching the receptors adequately, then it would prevent spiking of the blood
glucose to a certain extent. Whereas, in an individual with impaired insulin production or an abnormality of the receptors that receive the insulin, the blood glucose levels would reach a high range.
I hope you find my response both helpful and informative sir. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help you sir.
Best wishes.
