Study Notes
Fasting Blood Glucose Levels and HbA1c
- Fasting blood glucose levels of 127 mg/dL and 128 mg/dL on two separate days indicate a slightly elevated blood sugar level.
- An HbA1c of 5.8% suggests a moderate level of blood glucose control over time.
- These readings point towards a prediabetic state.
