<s>[INST] hi,  I am a 67 year old cardiovascular patient, pre-diabetic, and Im trying to understand what my doctors (plural) are telling me.  I have regular wellness office visits, and my doctors seem to be monitoring my situations fairly well.  There seems to be some variation of the A1C levels on the internet. My A1C is 4.9 [/INST] Hi Greetings from Chat Doctor ! Basic of 4.9 is normal as the value above 6.5 is diabetes. HbAic is new modality to detect diabetes as it reflects the average of blood sugar level over the last 3 months. If you have any further query then you can come back to Chat Doctor. I will definitely help you and guide you appropriately. If you are satisfied with my answer then please vote it as helpful. With Regards Chat Doctor.  </s>
