Hello, my fasting blood sugar is 81 but my hb a1c is 6.5. I usually avoid sugar but had some sweets and chocolates in the past 2 weeks before the test. Do I have diabetes? I am 29. I work out regularly. I am 5.10 and weigh 84. I have a family history of diabetes. I do have anxiety and sleeping problems and feel tired sometimes. I don't feel thirsty and I don't wake up at night for urination.

Trans fats sugar, cake, pastries mithai/sweets chocolate fruits like mango, litchi etc. White bread, pasta fruit-flavored yogurt. Sweetened breakfast cereals. Flavored coffee drinks. Honey 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or soaked almonds or any seasonal fruit. No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Take your breakfast every day.
