A1C vs Fasting Glucose not aligning
Hi all,
Info: 26 Male, 6’2, 180 lbs, no medication, don’t smoke.
I have been questioning my bloodwork results and am looking for some opinions and to see if anyone has been in a similar boat.
I have been getting blood work done over the last couple years with a focus to track my glucose levels. All these were done with over 12 hours fasting.
1st visit: Fasting glucose: 100; collected at 12:30 PM
2nd visit: Fasting glucose: 101, collected at 11:30 AM
3rd visit: A1C: 4.9 fasting glucose: 97; collected at 8AM
4th: A1C: 4.8, fasting glucose 102; collected at 7:20AM
These were over the course of 2 years.
While my A1C appears ok, the high fasting glucose is what concerns me the most as they are coming back as “high”consistently. Would these numbers indicate a problem based on anyone’s experience? Doctor brushed off my results, and I haven’t found a clear answer on why there is a discrepancy between the two.
Thanks
