Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My father's fasting sugar is 297. But my father is feeling better, no weakness, not feeling tired. Why?

Answered by Dr. Kuldeep Meena

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Blood sugar levels fluctuate in the body every minute. If sugar level continuously remains on a higher level, then it is very dangerous to the body because it can create some serious health issues like diabetic neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, ketoacidosis, and coma. So, kindly start him on treatment either oral hypoglycemic agents or human Insulin. Take medicines regularly.

The Probable causes

Low insulin level in the body.

Investigations to be done

Fasting and postprandial blood sugar level, HbA1c.

Differential diagnosis

Diabetes mellitus, hyperglycemia.

Probable diagnosis

Diabetes mellitus.

Treatment plan

Tablet Metformin 500 mg BD.

Preventive measures

Avoid sugar added foods and drinks.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
