Diabetic Blood Sugar Levels to Diagnose Diabetes
CONCERN: Sir,
My Sugar level test are as below:
Fasting - 112, PP - 109. As the lab report the nornal level indicated for fasting is below 110 and for PP is below 140.
As my fasting level (112) is above the normal level,i want to know whether i am a diebetic patient or not?
ANSWER: According to your blood sugar levels results, they seem perfectly
normal. To me, as the results show, you don't have any diabetes problems (unless you have some
symptoms or other issues, we are not aware of).
Regarding the glucose level of 112 instead of 110, you see yourself that this difference is so small. Therefore, if you want to be sure you have diabetes or not, you can repeat the
fasting blood sugar test for three consequtive months, and also measure your
A1C levels.
Keep in contact with your doctor as he/she knows better your health profile (we may miss something as we do not have your medical records). Please take our answer for knowledge purposes only and not as a substitute for your doctor's advice.
