Stress can increase your HbA1C. Stress increases cortisol levels which increase glucose production and increases insulin resistance. HbA1C is gold standard to diagnose diabetes and reflects average glucose over past 3 months. Your random and fasting sugars appear to be normal but they are not reliable to confirm or exclude diagnosis of diabetes, as they give snap shot of your sugars
