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 receive much education. I'd like to learn about the treatment methods 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 diabetes. If the initial test shows high blood sugar but there are no clinical symptoms, you can temporarily avoid taking hypoglycemic drugs for treatment. Instead, you can adjust your diet, increase exercise, and monitor your blood sugar daily. If your hemoglobin A1c is normal, you can make lifestyle adjustments, such as avoiding high-calorie, high-protein, and high-sugar foods. Monitor for a period of time before considering medication.
