Dear
Your lab results indicate:
Random Blood
Sugar (RBS): 100 mg/dL – This is within the normal range.
HbA1c: 5.6% – This falls within the non-diabetic range based on most standard guidelines.
Regarding your doubt about normal HbA1c ranges:
Different labs may have slight variations in their reference ranges, but generally:
Normal HbA1c: Below 5.7%
Prediabetes: 5.7% - 6.4%
Diabetes: 6.5% and above
Since your HbA1c is 5.6%, it is considered normal and does not indicate diabetes. However, you are close to the upper limit, so maintaining a healthy lifestyle (balanced diet, regular exercise, and monitoring sugar levels) is advisable.
Let me know if you need further clarification.
