Total protein elevated
I'm diagnosed as prediabetic..my fasting glucose levels are 5.8. My total protein is 8.6, albumin is 4.5 and globulin is 4.1. Do I need to consult any doctor for this elevated protein levels? I have consulted 2 general physicians and as per them if I control my glucose levels everything will be in limits. Is it true?

Hi there...I can understand your concern. Total protein level of 8.6 and albumin 4.5 and globulin 4.1 is normal. Don't worry about it now. Sometimes in conditions like multiple myeloma, dehydration proteins level can be raised. But they will have even systemic manifestations. So kindly consult a general physician once for further evaluation. Also it must be your hbaic level that is 5.8. Not fasting blood sugar.
