A1C Levels QUESTION PLEASE HELP
So I am 6 months out from Gastric Sleeve. I have lost 72 pounds and recently had my 6 month labs checked. I have never had a high A1C level. Never had any problems but recently my A1C level was 6.0. They said that I was borderline! WTH. I am super confused did anyone ever have that happen?
Thanks in Advance

I just posted almost the same thing on the VSG maintence board. I'm 6 months out. I've lost 100 pounds. I eat under 30-40 carbs a day. I just got a call that I'm prediabetic and my a1c was 6.0. I haven't been to the drs yet for details but I'd like to keep in touch with you to see what happens in your situation.
Under the new recommendations, which are revised every year to reflect the most current available scientific research, an A1C of 5.7 – 6.4 percent would indicate that blood glucose levels were in the prediabetic range, meaning higher than normal but not yet high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes. That diagnosis would occur once levels rose to an A1C of 6.5 percent or higher.
I seriously wouldn't be too worried about it right now, just keep an eye on it and see what happens at your next lab appt. An A1C of 6 is really not that bad. Mine is currently 9.9, but I'm pre-op and currrenlty working very hard to get it down. :(
