Hello doctor, I am a male aged 29 years 3 months, height is 5 feet 8 inches, weight 77 kg. My doctor checked my HbA1c a year back and found it 4.2. Recently, I was facing little dryness in my mouth and that is why drinking more water too. Also facing some little burn in my feet. Other things are fine till now. Is there any probability that I got diabetes by this time? Should I go for another test?
Hello. I understand your concern. Your HbA1c report is in the normal range, you do not have diabetes. If your test was done in a reliable laboratory, there is absolutely no need to repeat this. The dryness of mouth can occur due to dehydration. So I recommend that you drink at least 2 to 3 liters of water daily. Burning sensation in the feet can be due to vitamin B12 deficiency. You can get your vitamin B12 level checked by a blood test done early in the morning after 12-hour fasting. That means, if you are going for your test at 8 AM, you should have finished your last meal at 8 PM the previous night.
