I just found out a friend was diagnosed with diabetes due to a sugar test while their a1c was still in the normal range. We’ve got a long way to go yet with diabetes research.


I mean, it is well known that A1c has a 3 month (usually) lag time assuming no hemolytic states. Could have been just caught early depending on what you mean by sugar test


No they already are in early stage fatty liver. This has been a long time coming and surprises no one. The only surprise is not failing the a1c.


I guess I’m confused, A1c is a measurement used for diabetes, not fatty liver/nafld. Can absolutely be correlated with diabetes and elevated A1c but those are two independent things we seem to be talking about
