Patient's question:
These past few days, my thumb has been a bit numb. The day before yesterday, when I tested my blood sugar, it was a bit high with an empty stomach, at 8.3.Doctor's answer:
Hello, diabetes can currently be classified into four types: Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and other types. Suggestions: 1. The diagnostic criteria for diabetes are a fasting blood glucose level greater than 7.0 mmol or a post-meal blood glucose level greater than 11.1 mmol. A post-meal blood glucose level between 7.8-11.1 mmol indicates impaired glucose tolerance. Confirmation requires two tests. It is recommended to conduct an oral glucose tolerance test for definitive diagnosis. 2. If diagnosed with gestational diabetes, insulin treatment is recommended. Currently, there are many types of insulin available. Animal insulin is less commonly used due to its frequent allergic reactions and tendency to cause insulin resistance. Human insulin and insulin analogs are more commonly used. Common clinical options include: Novolin series, NovoRapid series, and Humulin series. Domestic options include Amaryl series and Insulin Aspart series. Doctor's inquiry:
