Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details given. Your fasting and PP glucose levels are really good, do not appear to be diabetic. But it is surprising to see that HbA1C% at 6.5%, Because to diagnose diabetes the criteria are : FBG 126 mg and above, PP 200 mg and above & HbA1c% 6.5% and above. So it appears that you have diabetes. But my suggestion is please look at your diet, avoid sweets, deep fried foods, colas and junk foods and do regular exercise for over 1 hour a day, consume more of green leafy vegetables, salads and fruits. Then check your HbA1c% after another 3 months along with FBG & PP glucose levels. Then let us look at it. Thanks. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.

Your fasting and pp blood sugar levels are normal but hba1c is borderline. Repeat your tests after 3 months.
