An A1c of 5.6 is a great number for a diabetic, but it's not a truly normal result. A lab test at the doctor's office (the kind you send off, not the instant) is the most accurate.

It's not dangerous to be diagnosed with diabetes or prediabetes, but it can be dangerous not to. Please consider seeing a doctor.
