Fasting Sugar Low, Hba1c 5.7
My fasting glucose was 70 mg/dL, but HbA1c was 5.7%. After 3–4 months of intermittent fasting/OMAD, HbA1c was still 5.8%. I was on mirtazapine 60 mg. My CBC showed Hb 14.9, RBC 5.89 million, MCV 76.4, MCH 25.3, RDW 16. Iron studies: serum iron 93 µg/dL, TIBC 305 µg/dL, transferrin saturation 30.5%, ferritin 88 ng/mL. Could this HbA1c be falsely elevated due to possible thalassemia trait or other RBC factors, or does this suggest true prediabetes despite a fasting glucose of 70?

Pictutary microadenoma
My prolactins level were high and doctor suggested MRI These are the findings "There is an ovoid nodule measuring 6.6 x 8.8 x 5.7 mm (AP x TR x CC) seen in pituitary gland on left side, which appears isointense on T1, heterogeneously hyperintense on T2, hypoenhancing on early phase of dynamic contrast images and intense homogeneous contrast enhancement on delayed images of dynamic study. Pituitary stalk is deviated towards right side. Imaging findings are suggestive of pituitary microadenoma. Serum prolactin estimation is suggested." I am very worried, what does it mean ?
