Hb1ac Information

2020-11-17 19:46:40
Which diagnosis helps me to find out diabetes, Hb1ac or FBS/PPBS because Hb1ac shows its a prediabetic stage but in FBS/PPBS shows diabetic. One doctor preffered to do FBS/PPBS and the result shows diabetic , another doctor preffered to do Hb1ac there it shows pre diabetic stage. Please help me in this regard

If Your blood sugar levels are recently high it will be reflected in fasting PPBS and HbA1c is a last 3 months average. So you may be in prediabetic range in last 3 months but currently you are in diabetic range. You should treat your current high sugar levels

All three parameters are important. HbA1c will tell u the average blood sugar of 3 months, where as FBS and PP are the recent blood sugar levels. In ur case, ur FBS and PP shows diabetic means u have diabetes which u developed recently.
