Blood biochemistry test glucose is 13, is it diabetes?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

As for the blood sugar level, it can already be diagnosed as diabetes. However, one test cannot confirm the issue. It is recommended to have a recheck in the near future. If the level remains higher than 7.7 mmol/L after fasting and higher than 11.1 mmol/L after a meal, then diabetes can be confirmed.
Medical Advice:
1. Once diagnosed, non-medical treatment should be the first step, with dietary control being particularly important. Sugar intake must be restricted, and high-sugar foods such as lotus root, taro, sweet potatoes, and potatoes should also be strictly controlled. Moderate amounts of fruits are acceptable, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and pomelos. There are many suggestions online about this, and you can search carefully for guidance on your future diet. The second step is exercise and weight loss. It is important to maintain regular exercise and a healthy weight to prevent fat from converting into glucose.
2. Medication treatment should be determined based on blood sugar levels, the presence of complications, the type of diabetes, potential complications, financial affordability, and the convenience of medication use, among other factors.
