Unfortunately I didn't get to talk to her directly (she finally had to leave me a voicemail with all my results) so I didn't get a chance to ask her if she had also run an A1c. On a positive note, my thyroid testing was normal, bad cholesterol was normal, good cholesterol was high (yay!). | Yes, the fasting glucose was a teeny bit high. I'd keep an eye on your A1c either way, but a one-time fasting 103 is not cause for alarm. I'd be more worried about family history than your reading. Quote:

I know that I am at high risk and want to do everything I can to prevent myself from progressing to Type 2. | Excellent!
