What causes high HbA1c and low Sodium?

High HbA1c and low Sodium can be caused by many reasons.

If your HbA1c is in between 4 % and 5.7 % and your Sodium is in between 136 mmol/L and 145 mmol/L then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for HbA1c and Sodium respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Long-term complications of diabetes develop gradually. The longer you have diabetes the higher the risk of complications. Eventually, diabetes complications may be disabling or even life-threatening. Possible complications include:

• Kidney damage
• Eye damage
• Foot damage
• Alzheimer's disease
• Heart and blood vessel disease
