Hi @madman
An HbA1c test gives an average blood glucose level over approximately the past 12 weeks and within that result will be higher and lower levels from the variability of your blood glucose. As you have been told you are at risk of diabetes there will be some elevated levels and presumably the abnormal fasting result is one of those.
Your HbA1c result of 41mmol/mol equates to an average blood glucose level of 6.8 . It is possible to have an HbA1c that is satisfactory but the individual spot check glucose to be out of range, do you know what the level was of the abnormal result? The main thing is to do what you can to reduce the higher than normal readings and reduce the chances having a diabetes diagnosis.
Best Wishes.

If fat builds up in the liver in NAFLD (Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) it makes the liver less responsive to insulin so glucose levels remain higher than they should be in the blood which can contribute towards developing Type 2 diabetes.
The liver helps regulate blood glucose by storing glucose when you eat and releasing it when needed overnight/between meals to keep levels stable. If the liver isn't as responsive to insulin as it should be due to fat deposits it can't do its job of regulating glucose levels properly.
Yes it can cause higher glucose and increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
