Question 1

I'm really worried about my mom's health. She's been dealing with diabetic hyperglycemia for about 15 years now, and things seem to have gotten more complicated. Just recently, she had pus in her left kidney because of a urinary infection related to her diabetes. I'm really anxious about whether the treatment she's getting is the right fit for her. What should we be looking out for, and is there anything else we should consider?

Question 3

I'm a 34-year-old male, and I recently checked my random blood sugar level, which came out to be 153. Should I be worried about this? What does it mean for my health?

Accepted Answer

A random blood sugar level of 153 mgdL is considered elevated, but not necessarily indicative of diabetes; however, it's a red flag, especially for someone as young as 34, and warrants further evaluation, such as a fasting blood sugar test, HbA1c, or an oral glucose tolerance test, to determine if you're at risk for developing insulin resistance, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes

Question 4

I'm really worried because my blood sugar is higher than it's ever been. I'm already on BP meds and I'm overweight. Should I think about starting medication for my sugar levels now? Is it even possible to get my levels back to normal at this point?

Accepted Answer

It's most likely diabetes and you should start medicines for the same. Better to confirm the sugar levels once again before starting medicines.

Question 5

I'm a bit confused about my blood glucose levels. My fasting sugar came out higher than my reading two hours after eating. It was 155 fasting and 139 after a meal. At one point, my fasting level was 200, and a few days later, it dropped to 155. Why w...

Accepted Answer

It is not uncommon for blood glucose levels to be higher in the morning (fasting) compared to after a meal. This is due to the dawn phenomenon, where hormones released in the early morning hours cause blood sugar levels to rise. Additionally, if you had a high-carbohydrate meal the night before, it can also contribute to higher fasting blood sugar levels. To help manage your blood sugar levels, you can consider taking Metformin. It helps to improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

Question 6

I'm a bit worried because my fasting sugar level is 144 and my PP is 238. I haven't started any medication for diabetes yet. Do you think I should begin medication? If so, what's the safest option and what dosage would you recommend?
