Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Fasting blood sugar is 194 mg/dL and postprandial blood sugar is 354 mg/dL. Please tell me if sugar is confirmed or not. If I am diabetic, what should I do?

Answered by Dr. Suneetha B S

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Looking at your blood sugar level, it is on the higher side. You will need medication to bring it under control. After a few months of treatment, your doctor will decide whether the dose can be reduced depending on your blood sugar control. As of now, it is important for you to start therapy and bring this under control. Remember, diabetes is not a disease by itself if it is under control. If the levels remain high constantly, it could lead to disease. Hence, I recommend that you visit your doctor as soon as possible for further guidance.

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