Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had a recent blood test, and my report shows estimated average glucose levels of 160 mg/dL and HPLC of 7.2 %. What does it signify? Can I cure this condition without any treatment?

Kindly help.

Thank you.

Answered by Dr. Saumya Mittal

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

From your history, it seems like you have diabetes. You will need medication for the same. Consult a specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medications with their consent.

1. Test fasting blood sugar (FBS) and post-prandial blood sugar (PPBS) and share the reports with us.

2. You have hypovitaminosis D. Take Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D) and repeat the vitamin D test after two months.

3. You have dyslipidemia. Take a healthy diet devoid of fats. Take tablet Atorvastatin 10 mg once daily at bedtime. Repeat the lipid profile after three months.

Thank you.

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