Patient's question:
Hello, teacher. Recently, our unit organized a physical examination. The results showed elevated liver enzymes and high fasting blood glucose (6.84). However, at that time, I was experiencing a cold and cough, and I always thought it might be due to the side effects of the medication. Now that my cold has improved, I went to the hospital this morning for another fasting blood test. The liver enzymes have returned to normal, but the fasting blood glucose was 7.25. The hemoglobin A1c was normal (Hemoglobin A1c 5.28, unit %, reference range 3.60-6.00; Hemoglobin A1c 0.94, unit g/dL, no reference value; Hemoglobin 17.80, unit g/dL, reference value 0.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the diagnostic criteria for diabetes are: fasting blood glucose exceeding 7.0 or postprandial blood glucose exceeding 11.1 for two consecutive measurements, which can be diagnosed as diabetes.Advice: Hello, hemoglobin A1c reflects your average blood glucose level over the past three months. Your A1c is not high, indicating that your blood glucose level has recently increased. Once diagnosed with diabetes, you can first control blood glucose through exercise and diet. If it cannot be controlled, you will need to take hypoglycemic medications or inject insulin, and it is important to take them regularly in the long term.
