Patient's question:
I have slightly higher blood sugar tolerance because I had high blood pressure and was hospitalized. During my hospital stay, my blood sugar levels were normal. After giving birth, I didn't pay attention to my diet and ate several types of fruits a day. Now, for the past three days, I haven't eaten any sweets or fruits, but my blood sugar levels are still high at 6.66, 8.6, and 6.6. I've never had them this high before. What should I do? The baby is only a little over 20 days old.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, blood sugar (fasting) has decreased, but it hasn't exceeded the diagnostic criteria for diabetes. First, appropriate dietary control is needed, including reducing the total daily food intake, ensuring a balanced nutritional diet, engaging in moderate physical activity, and enhancing blood sugar monitoring data.Recommendation: It is advisable to have a standardized examination in the endocrinology department of a hospital. If necessary, undergo a glucose tolerance test to rule out diabetes. The doctor will provide appropriate advice and guidance on treatment based on your specific condition. Rest assured, under the guidance of a doctor and with your active cooperation, you can effectively control your blood sugar.
