[raja1989]

Hi, this is raja from Andhra Pradesh. I was born in 1989. I have checked my HBa1c in February 2018 at 2 different labs. I had done them at the same time in the early morning. The morning fasting....... The first report shows 5.8 and in the other report 6.5. Do I have diabetes? Please answer.

You should treat this as a warning signal,without getting tensed up.You might be going through pre diabetes stage.Proper clinical evaluation is essential for confirmation.You can take certain steps like weight reduction,preferring low glycemic index foods,regular exercise and leading stress free lifestyle,so that your sugar levels are back to normal.Most importantly,you should be thoroughly knowledgeable about diabetes,so that you can take care of yourself.Use the search function on this web page to access the earlier posts on every subject related to diabetes.

Hi Raja,

Don't worry. I'm also from Andhra and I know for a fact that most diagnostic centers in Andhra are corrupt. HbA1C is a three month average and it takes a lot of effort to get HbA1C from 6.5 to 5.8, so definitely one of these two labs is wrong or they both could be wrong. I suggest you go to a trusted lab like lal path labs or SRL or Apollo. Then meet a good doctor and follow the directions accordingly. See if you can follow Ramakrishna diet to lose weight.

Regards,

Kishore

Sometimes, people with diabetes can have ED, as well. Has your doctor discussed this with you at an appointment?

Hi Raja , do you feel pre diebetes symptoms

Excessive thirst

Excessive urination

White fungal infection on penis

Poor wound healing

please observe this and get your fasting and pp checked after having many sweet dishes like gulab jamun , chocolate cake , Cadbury bar or something having more sugar.

Now no but in the month of December maybe 1 week I felt like that but slowly no symptoms like that

[Indian1990 Star in reply to raja1989]

Have a fasting and pp checked every day using any glucometer for 1 month to get clear picture.
