FBS 127.5 mg/dL but HbA1c 5.5% — should I be worried?
Hi everyone,
I just got my lab results and I’m a bit confused and worried.
My results are:
• Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS): 127.5 mg/dL
• HbA1c: 5.5%
I know the FBS is a bit high, but my HbA1c is still normal, so I’m not sure what to think.
For context, I drank Glucerna (diabetic support milk drink) around 11 PM the night before my test, and my blood was drawn at 9 AM the next day.
Could that have affected my fasting sugar results?
Should I be worried about diabetes even if my HbA1c is normal? Or is this more likely just a one-time spike because of what I drank before fasting?
Would really appreciate any insights or similar experiences. Thank you.
