Patient's question:
My dad has had diabetes for over ten years. Because I am also overweight, when I came home this time, my dad used his blood glucose meter to test me. At that time, I hadn't eaten dinner yet, and it had been three hours since breakfast. When the blood glucose meter was used to measure it, the blood sugar was 16.8, and the fasting blood sugar was 6.8. Is it diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Fasting blood sugar is around 6.8. If the blood sugar is consistently in this range each time, this is likely indicative of impaired pancreatic function. In such a case, if medication is not used promptly or lifestyle interventions are not adopted, it can lead to diabetes. First, this is an early stage of diabetes, so avoid consuming high-sugar foods during daily life. It is essential to engage in more activities and exercise to enhance insulin function and achieve a complete recovery.
