Hello doctor,
I was COVID 19 Positive fifteen days back. After fifteen days, my repeated test of COVID-19 was negative. After that I feel all the time sweetness taste in my mouth upon that I myself went for blood sugar random and hbA1C, today. I received the results of my blood sugar random which is 92 mg/dL while hbA1C is 6%. Please do advise any medication for it. My age is 45 years and weight is 160 pounds.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It is a great news that you recovered and doing well after COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) infection. Considering the current medical reports, your HbA1c (Glycated hemoglobin) is suggestive that you are in pre-diabetic stage. And your fasting sugar is absolutely normal. You do not need to start any medicine for diabetes. Sometimes recent infection may also lead to high sugar levels. Repeat tests after 1 month. And from now on I would suggest you adapt more healthier lifestyle choices. Good nutrition diet, regular exercises, quit smoking if doing are the basic ways. Take care of yourself.
