HbA1C is average of your 3 month fasting , random and 2 hr post meal sugars. It’s the gold stand to diagnose prediabetes or diabetes. it’s more accurate the random or fasting sugar measurementsYou levels are within the normal range. It is not recommended that you check your sugars at home frequently if you are not diabetic or prediabetic
Next Steps
Obtain HBA1C every 6 months, with fasting glucose and insulin levels to monitor for development of prediabetes/ diabetes, particularly if you’re overweight or have family members with diabetes
