Patient's question:
Doctor, I was admitted to the hospital for a blood test due to intestinal polyps, and my blood glucose level was found to be 5.6, while my HbA1c was as high as 7.5. I don't know what factors or causes this could be, and I don't have any of the classic symptoms of diabetes (polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, or weight loss). The attending physician did not specify any particular factors or causes either. I would appreciate it if the experts could provide some guidance. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, in such a case, it is recommended that you have your blood sugar tested again. Suggestions: Hello, it is suggested that you have your fasting and post-meal blood sugar, as well as other indicators such as hemoglobin A1c, tested at a different hospital. There are many causes that can lead to elevated blood sugar levels reaching the level of diabetes, resulting in childhood diabetes. If the child is diagnosed with childhood diabetes, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
