Fluctuations in sugar levels
My mother was diagnosed pre-diabetic in July. Hence, appointed a nutritionist to take care of her diet. Her Hba1c was 5.8 back in July, which went up to 6.0 in Nov and back to 5.6 in December. Today, she just had her fasting sugar levels checked which was 107, Above the normal range. This in spite of the fact that she is taking fibre rich vegetarian food and done away with all fatty stuffs which contain oil and non veg. She is not taking sugar except for morning coffee. She is taking more green tea and black tea without sugar. Moreover, she goes for walk every day and works most of the time at home. Having flax seeds before meal. She is not having any of the symptoms as well. Could the reports be wrong any chance..?

The reports are fine, and you need not worry about these minor variations. She has managed to control her blood sugar by her life style changes which is commendable. She should continue the same. I also see that she has quit Non veg food, which is not required. She can have Non veg but not in an oil rich gravy/fried. Her HbA1C levels are between acceptable limits. Just keep a regular check on the same. Every 3 months: HbA1C Every 6 months: Lipid Profile, KFT and Urine R/E, LFT Every year: Fundoscopy, 2 D ECHO,
