Default Sometimes, it just doesn't seem to work out

I'm a low-carber with occasional falls off the wagon, including the
occasional beer or burger (I think there were four burgers in all of 2011).
Yet, the recent checkup numbers are in: RBG at 103, but A1C at 5.0. All
other numbers are really good, below 180 on the cholesterol, good mineral
levels, etc. Doctor's overall eval was "excellent."

Time for concern because of that high-ish RBG? If these were your numbers,
what would you think/do?

What's wrong with those numbers?

A nondiabetic person will have an A1c result between 4% and 6%.

The reference values for a "normal" random glucose test in an average
adult are 70 - 140 mg/dl (3.9 - 7.8 mmol/l)

What does your doctor say?

Do you mean FBG? Never heard of RBG.

Yes, you should see if you can get the fasting number below 100.

Sometimes, a small bedtime snack of protein does it.

And mine was 5.0%, smack in the middle.

My doctor's note on my numbers was "excellent results." He's
the one who gave me the "pre-diabetic" diagnosis two years ago.
Last year, he congratulated me, after losing 40 lbs and getting
the glucose back to the happy range. He didn't say a word about
potential pre-diabetic state this time, and he's likely to warn
me if it gets there.

Doesn't sound like I have much to worry about.

Thanks.

Resting blood glucose, but FBG is probably the more accurate way of
referring to it.

Yes, you should see if you can get the fasting number below 100.

Probably will do that. A little cheese or meat from dinner ought to
do it. Overall, I don't think I have much to worry about, but I'm
the type who's predisposed to worrying anyway.
