Patient's question:
Narrate my condition with urine sugar (+), post-meal blood sugar 4, recent dry mouth, and a habit of eating that I have maintained for nearly 20 years. My weight has been consistently between 110-115 kg. Please help me understand if these are not early symptoms of diabetes? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
There are many factors that can affect the examination of glucose in a urine test. A plus sign does not necessarily indicate diabetes. We still need to check blood sugar. Currently, blood sugar is not high at all.Recommendation: If you are still concerned about diabetes, you can recheck your blood sugar and urine routine. If blood sugar is still normal, it is not diabetes. However, since there is a plus sign for urine glucose, check kidney ultrasound, endogenous creatinine clearance, kidney function, and urine microalbumin to see if there is renal glycosuria.
