Patient's question:
My cousin's blood sugar is very high. This morning, while she was taking a walk, an elderly lady told her that she should check her urine because blood sugar and urine sugar must be high. My cousin didn't believe it. I asked them this question: Is blood sugar and urine sugar high? Is high urine sugar diabetes?Doctor's answer:
High blood sugar does not necessarily mean diabetes. Diabetes is indeed primarily diagnosed based on discomfort symptoms such as thirst and frequent urination, along with tests like fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and glucose tolerance tests. If you suspect diabetes, it is recommended to visit an endocrinology department for a thorough examination and undergo fasting blood glucose tests and other relevant tests to confirm the diagnosis. In addition to treatment, it is important to maintain good sleep, as sufficient sleep can help you recover more quickly from the illness.
