Your
HbA1c levels, both 6.8% in February and 6.5% in April, indicate that you are in the prediabetic range (5.7% to 6.4% is considered prediabetes, and 6.5% or higher is diagnostic of
diabetes). The reduction from 6.8% to 6.5% is a positive sign, showing some improvement, but this is still in the range where monitoring is important.
Given your PCOS, it's common to have insulin resistance, which can increase your risk of developing diabetes. It's good that your random blood
sugar is normal (78 mg/dL), but HbA1c is the more reliable marker for long-term blood sugar control.
Regarding the yeast infection and hole-like pimple, these can sometimes be related to high blood sugar, as elevated glucose can increase the risk of infections. It’s also worth noting that frequent urination (though not at night) could be linked to anxiety or mild insulin resistance.
Next Steps
Since you have PCOS and are at higher risk of
diabetes, I'd recommend the following:
1. Continue monitoring your
HbA1c at least every 3 months or depending on your doctor's recommendation.
2. Maintain a healthy diet and exercise to help manage blood
sugar levels and PCOS symptoms.
3. Consult a doctor about the yeast infection and breast pimple as these might need treatment, especially if recurrent.
4. Address health anxiety- managing stress can help both your physical and mental health. Techniques like mindfulness or therapy might help reduce the sensation of frequent urination caused by anxiety.
Health Tips
It's not definitive that you have
diabetes right now, but staying proactive with regular testing and lifestyle adjustments is key.
