lybrate-user as your HB 1C is 5.8.It is good contol here you get average 3 month blood sugar. It is necessary to check blood sugar Fasting and post meal to find the recent status of blood glucose level. Because high blood sugar in blood may initiate inflammation in artery so again artery can be blocked.
