5.7 is a 117, a 94 is 4.9. as i say the 94 is good since it's below your 90 day average but it's only a reflection of your glucose at the time the blood was drawn, not your total 90 day picture.
I need help. I'm trying to reduce my Fasting Blood Glucose Level but it Never Goes Less than 94. This is constant past so many years.
Recently I changed my diet, reduced stress, started heavy exercise. I'm eating all day long small portion of meals, vegetables and whole wheat home-baked pittas and fresh fruit.
My Dad had diabetic and he died of acute myocardial infarction, heart-attack, so does that mean my blood sugar maybe genetic?
What can I do more to reduce my Fasting Blood Glucose Level Less than 94?
Lifestyle changes. Maybe your doc can suggest some things.
Fasting blood sugar level: 105, 84, 91, 113, I took 4 times, so on average it's 98.
After 2 hours: 95, 95, so average is 95.
I don't have A1c kit to test my A1c but does these readings sound normal? Especially, after 2-hours reading?
Don't average your fasting blood sugar. Take it one time, the correct way...clean hands, before you eat, with enough blood for the meter to do its job. Then put the meter down.
A fasting glucose number of 100 to 125 is pre-diabetic. 126 and above can be diabetic.
95 two hours after eating is good. The target number is 120, if you're diabetic. (some people use 140)
I'm assuming you know the A1C test is your average glucose for the past three months. You can get an A1C kit from the pharmacy now, but you really should have that done when you get your blood work from your doctor's office. I have no idea how accurate the off-the-shelf A1C kit is. I would use it, if I didn't have insurance.
Here is a link that has a lot of answers to many of your questions. I think this may help and explain what you need to know a lot better. I would also follow up with your physician, ask questions, and continue your testing with him/her.

You can buy those A1c test kits at Walmart. also, check local pharmacies, many offer such testing at a reasonable price, and you don't need a perscription.
Just out of curiosity, why do you think a fasting BG of 94 is high?
For fasting, do you test immediately upon awakening? Or do you perhaps get up, move around, go to bathroom, brush teeth, etc, etc? You need to keep your test kit right by your bedside and test as soon as you awaken.
It looks like your numbers actually go down in two hours, do you eat anything in that time? Your testing could be showing the "dawning effect"

Read the book: Sugar Nation a very informative book about diabetes.
Who is telling you that 94 is not a good number? Are you going to a General Practioner or to an Endocronologist?
Is Fasting Blood Glucose Level of 94 and A1C of 5.7 considered as diabetic?
Those numbers would be considered normal, not sure why you would think otherwise
