If you maintain fasting 120, then your hba1c will be around 6 (approx). After you donate blood, your blood sugar level should not be affected and cause high or low readings. However, your hbga1c (glycated hemoglobin, which measures your three-month blood sugar level) may be falsely lowered.

Thanks for the query.
When diabetes is well controlled fasting is around or below 100 mg, PP 150 to 170 mg & HbA1c% < 6.8.
With HbA1c% 8.1, it is clear that your blood glucose is not well controlled. There is relook needed for current treatment.
As regards Zita (Tenelegliptin) the dose is only 20 mg once a day. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the query. The fasting glucose should ideally be <100 mg and hba1c% < 6.5%, considering your young age. So there's a need to look at overall treatment like drugs, dosage, dietary pattern, weight, exercise & lipid profile. So please talk to your physician and get the necessary upgrade. Or come back with all the details in a private conversation so that I can be of help. Thanks.

Your hba1c is in a diabetic range. For non diabetic it should be less than 5.7. For diabetes follow a diet low in carbohydrate, low in fat and high in fibre. Walking for 30 mins a day for at least 5 days in a week is recommended. Follow a stress free life. After doing this for around 2-3 months recheck your hba1c, fbs and ppbs.
