Hai
20 Days back my H1AC was 5.4 . Last week my FF WAS 107 and 151 PP why is this ? Is my health becoming intolerant due to diabetic.
Kumar
Hi Kumar ,
HBA1 c is the sugar level indicator of 120 day average … and the current fasting and pp reports are due to the last 1-2 days food habit and lifestyle … it simply means that when you checked your fasting and pp sugars , the previous 1-2 ays were not good in terms of diet and exercises .
