Urgent issue about my Diabetes Type 2
I have done hba1c test from Agilus diagnostic on 6 June 2026, it was 5.8 (FBS - 106) . Again on 21 July 2026, I did Hba1c test from Agilus diagnostic and result is 5.5 and FBS - 115. I doubt these both results because of below mentioned points :-
1. I am diabetic type 2 patient from last 4 years.
2. I have taken treatment only once in last 4 years when my Hba1c was peak at around 11.7 in June 2025. I have taken medicines from June 2025 to October 2025 and stopped medicines when my Hba1c was 5.5 and FBS - 98 as per doctor's advice.
3. From June 2025 ( When my treatment was started ) and till now, I am on very strict diet as required for diabetics mangement.
4. But from last 1 month, I think my symptoms has started showing again like urge for pee every 1-2 hours, urge for pee in midnight, itching on foot. Etc.
Please help me out about what should I do next because test results are not matching with symptoms.
Your current HbA1c of 5.5% and fasting glucose of 115 mg/dL are reassuring and indicate that your blood sugar is presently very well controlled. However, since you previously had an HbA1c of 11.7% and were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, these normal results do not mean that the diabetes diagnosis has disappeared.
Your recent symptoms such as frequent urination and nocturia do not necessarily mean that your sugar has become uncontrolled. They can also occur due to urinary infection, increased fluid/caffeine intake, bladder-related problems, or other urinary causes. Foot itching may also be due to a fungal skin infection.
Next Steps
Please repeat laboratory FBS, 2-hour PPBS and HbA1c, preferably from a standardized laboratory. Also consider urine routine/microscopy and urine culture, especially because of the urinary symptoms. Kidney function tests can also be checked.
If glucose remains well controlled, continue the diet, exercise and lifestyle measures advised by your doctor. Do not restart or stop diabetes medication on your own—review the results with your treating physician.
Health Tips
An HbA1c of 5.5% is an excellent result and is definitely reassuring. However, because of your previous HbA1c of 11.7%, you should continue periodic diabetes monitoring even if you are currently maintaining normal values without medication.
One important point: if your urinary frequency is significant despite normal glucose, I would specifically advise you not to assume it is from diabetes—I can investigate the urinary symptoms separately

Your HbA1c values are good â 5.5-5.8 is normal to pre-diabetic range. FBS 115 is slightly high but not alarming. The frequent urination with these sugar levels is not typical of uncontrolled diabetes â get a urine routine culture done to rule out UTI, and check post-meal sugar (PPBS 2 hrs after meal). The labs are likely correct. Continue strict diet.
Next Steps
Consult me on Practo with PPBS and urine report for a complete review.

I understand your concern. The good thing is that an HbA1c of 5.5% is reassuring and suggests your average sugar has been well controlled over the last 2–3 months. However, your symptoms should not be ignored—they may be due to post-meal sugar spikes, a urinary infection, or a fungal infection, even if the HbA1c is normal.
I would recommend checking fasting and 2-hour post-meal sugars for a few days (or using a CGM if possible) and getting a urine routine/culture. Please consult your diabetologist with these reports before making any changes to your medication.

Best is to check not only your Fasting blood sugar , but also post lunch and pre & post dinner blood sugars . Make a chart for a week and then consult a doctor .
