Daughters a1c is 5.7% but yet she has had some high readings...could this still be diabetes?

there are two issues to address with diabetes. one is the glucose level readings and the other is the A1C %. The A1C should consistently be below 6%. a 5.7% translates to a glucose reading of about 100mg/dl. The fact that her glucose reading is over 140 indicates a possible diabetic condition. This may be able to be controlled through a strict diet by eliminating sweets, simple carbohydrates and processed foods like crackers, chips etc.,excercise and weight control. The large fluctuations in glucose indicates she may be eating the wrong foods and her pancreas is having difficulty keeping her level of insulin stable. She should be closely monitored by a profesional and she should keep tabs on what she is eating, especially when her glucose goes to 140. there are many other considerations such as when the tests are being done(fasting or not), before or after meal testing. i have found that eating small meals throughout the day which consist of proteins , fiber and veggies works best for me. do not starve yourself or totally eliminate any of the food groups.
