Post-Miscarriage Diabetes Follow-Up
I am 37 years old. I had an IVF pregnancy. In June, my last HbA1c was 6.7. After that, I stopped taking metformin and continued checking my diabetes regularly. Even without the medication, my fasting sugar stayed around 101, and my post-meal readings were between 130/122/145. Today, my HbA1c report came back as 6.1, with a fasting sugar of 77 and a post-meal reading of 107. So does this mean that the diabetes I was experiencing after my miscarriage—which wasn’t returning to normal—has now become normal? Even though the HbA1c is still a bit high?

You are in the prediabetic range. Lifestyle modification and diet with high fibre ,low carbohydrate and no sugar/jaggery/sweets will help u revert back to non diabetic HbA1C of less than 5.7. Check HbA1C every 3 months

Based on your reports, your sugars have improved significantly. ✔ Fasting sugar 77 ✔ Post-meal 107 ✔ HbA1c 6.1 These values fall in the prediabetes range, not diabetes. It means your glucose levels have largely returned to near-normal even without medication, which is a very good sign. A few points to understand: • HbA1c reflects the last 3 months, so it may still be slightly high because earlier sugars were higher. • Your current fasting and post-meal readings are normal, which shows good control. • Stress, pregnancy-related hormonal changes, and miscarriage can temporarily worsen sugars, and they often improve afterward—as seen in your case. So yes, your sugars have now settled. But since HbA1c is still above 5.7, you remain in the prediabetic range, meaning you should continue lifestyle measures (diet, exercise, weight control) and monitor sugars every 3–6 months. If fasting or post-meal sugars start rising again, or if HbA1c goes above 6.5, you may need medication again. For now, no medication is needed, just regular monitoring and a healthy routine.
