What's your A1c?

Are you diabetic ? @Coralmist

@SW-User No, my sister is though. Her A1c is about 10 ? :/

I read 5.6 is pre and I was 5.4 two yrs ago so I'm afraid plus I gained weight @Coralmist

@SW-User They say anything 5.8 or over is prediabetic I believe.. No 5.6 is totally normal range, I'm pretty sure

I don't know but I have to be careful . I gained 10 pounds @Coralmist

@Coralmist where I did my lab tests it said 5.7 is pre diabetes

@SW-User It's becoming stricter now, just like the BMI chart... I would not worry at ALL about your A1c... and mine, I'm still keeping in check at 5.7 but want to bring it to 5.6 anyway...

Yeah but they will diagnose anyone over 5.5 where I live and it's depressing lol . My fasting went from 80 to 94,97 and 100. In the lab it was 94 but at home it was between 97-101@Coralmist

@SW-User Wow my doc just said, it is NEAR pre diabetes to me, but did not diagnose me. My sugars can be anywhere from 70-115, which is normal range. so I don't think I am 'diabetic'. Do i still want it one tenth lower? Yes, b/c I want to lose 30 lbs. anyway. but i'm not full BLOWN worried. your fasting sugars are COMPLETELY normal- definitely. That is a normal range sugar .. anything from 70-120. So I'm not sure what /why they told you you are prediabetic...

@Coralmist lucky you where I live one point above 100 is considered pre diabetic and that's why I didn't get my yearly blood test yet

@SW-User No, that is not true. It's wrong, b/c regular sugar levels CAN go up to 120. Now it's OVER that, you're getting into diabetes territory. But no, my sister has seen VERY good diabetes docs, for 20 years, in Boston- it is not that if your sugar is over 100 at all, you are pre diabetic. That I do know...

@Coralmist if your sis has seen good doctors specializing in blood sugar levels than that's reassuring
