Patient's question:
Last month, I took my mom for a health check-up. The test report showed abnormal blood sugar levels. Is a blood sugar level of 7.0 serious for diabetes? My mom usually eats very little sweet food and fruit, let alone candy. She only has slightly high blood pressure and blood lipids, so how could her blood sugar be high?Doctor's answer:
If you carefully check fasting blood sugar, and the blood sugar is 7.0, it does not qualify as very serious diabetes. The blood sugar is only slightly higher than the normal value. High blood sugar does not necessarily result from eating sweet things; it is related to high blood pressure and high blood lipids. When both blood pressure and blood lipids are high, it is easy to accompany high blood sugar. Pay attention to controlling your diet and also strengthen exercise. Regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene. Avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
