A1C test results

[lonely guy]

I got a A1C test result today of 6.2

What is the limit??? 7???


My regular glucose is within the limits (under 110 after 8 hour fast....day) (under 100 after an over night fast).

Why don't you google it instead of asking here?
You'll get a faster response in google.

Depending on the individual, 4% to 6% is generally considered normal so you're on the higher side of normal. It's probably nothing a little dietary control can't take care of, but check with your doc to be sure.

Thanks. I'm going to have an appointment with my regular doctor. Perhaps he can give me some dietary advice.

Or, more physical activity. ;<)

Preferably, if your physician can get you to a dietician, with the reason to prevent onset of type 2 diabetes, you would be better off. Don't go for so-called fad diets, especiallly if you are close to becoming diabetic. I am type 2 and my brother tried to avoid getting there. He went on a high protein diet, only to screw up his kidney functions and his cholesterol. Play it safe, eat sensibly and exercise.
