What should I do if my HbA1c is normal but my fasting glucose levels are high?

If your HbA1c is normal but your fasting glucose levels are high, it could indicate early-stage Type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance. HbA1c provides an average of blood sugar over time and may not capture short-term spikes in blood sugar. High fasting glucose levels suggest that your body is having difficulty managing blood sugar during periods of fasting. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) or additional tests may be recommended to assess your overall glucose control. Your healthcare provider may also suggest lifestyle changes or medications to manage your blood sugar more effectively.
