Patient's question:
A few days ago, I took my mother-in-law for a health check-up and found that her blood sugar level had increased. I don't know how to control this. I'm not very knowledgeable about these things, after all, I didn't get much education. I'd like to understand the treatment for this issue. Could you please ask the doctor how to treat high blood sugar?Doctor's answer:
High blood sugar increases the risk of developing diabetes. If the initial check shows high blood sugar but there are no clinical symptoms, you may not need to take hypoglycemic medication for treatment temporarily. You can adjust your diet, increase exercise, and monitor your blood sugar daily. If your A1C (HbA1c) is normal, lifestyle adjustments can be made. Avoid high-calorie, high-protein, and high-sugar foods, and monitor for a period of time before considering medication.
