HbA1c of 7.9% indicates poor average sugar control over the last 3 months, even if the fasting sugar is normal on a single day.
This happens because HbA1c reflects overall day-to-day glucose levels, including post-meal spikes, which may be high even when fasting levels look normal.
Next Steps
• Repeat Fasting + PP blood sugar and review with a physician.
• Start/adjust diabetes medication (often Metformin is first choice if not already using).
• Focus on diet control, exercise, and weight management.
• Recheck HbA1c after 3 months.
Health Tips
Avoid high-carb meals as they cause post-meal sugar spikes.
• Monitor sugars regularly to prevent complications.
