5.9? I don't know how I spaced the parathyroid surgery! Watch your carbs and see what the next A1C is. Sorry if I alarmed you.

I am not diabetic but just had to be on high dose steroids for 2 weeks and my blood sugars where over 300 and I was on insulin. Been off prednisone for three days and my blood sugar has been 109 every time I checked it today.

@@jess9395 Blood sugar regulation is definitely a known issue when you're having parathyroid problems. I think seeing an endocrinologist is in order, for you to get a handle on all this. That A1C isn't bad...5.9 is barely within the 5.7-6.4 range for 'pre-diabetes' (I hate the term) and if you don't have a family history and no gestational diabetes during pregnancy, it's unlikely to be independent of your parathyroid issue.

Gah! I watch my carbs. I haven't had bread or Pasta or rice in years. Very little fruit. I'm very low carb. That's what's so frustrating. All the doc said was diet and exercises. I run marathons!

Thank you just frustrating that my 270lb fat ass was never in the position but my 135lb marathon running 17% body fat ass is! And I don't want to wait till March for another test. This test was in October. Why does everything take so long!

Sorry that must be awful, those steroids are awful and wonderful at the same time... My 18 year old daughter has RA and EDS so I see her struggles.

Thank you yeah I'm gonna try and get a referral to an endocrinologist for sure. My endocrine surgeon doesn't do anything but the surgery but I'm sure they will refer me to one they work with. I do have a family history though in that my obese dad is type 2 and insulin dependent. No gestational diabeties.

Sigh.... why do I always get more info from internet strangers than my GP?

Thank you!

An A1C doesn't measure your blood sugar but if a non diabetic ate a pound of sugar there blood sugar would still be normal.

If a non-diabetic ate a # of sugar their A1c would return to normal faster. But...it wouldn't be normal. Diabetics can't get the insulin (sugar) into their muscles for energy. Non-Diabetic's can get the insulin into their muscles so they process it better and easier, so their bodies can utilize it better. I also wonder why your Dr did the A1c on you. Was it just an all around bloodwork?

Yes just all around bloodwork but a but more thorough because it was pre op clearance for another endocrine surgery (parathyroid) so I guess they wanted to look at all endocrine systems, did thyroid levels too and those were fine.

Yeah it can be reversed with diet and exercise and losing weight. All of which I've done in spades. Can't lose any more or eat any fewer carbs or run any more miles.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
