Patient's question:
Doctor, yesterday I went to the children's hospital to pick up medicine. My dad also asked me to check my blood sugar because both of them are diabetic and worried that I might be too. After the test, I found that my blood sugar level was high and exceeded the normal range, which made me very concerned. I would like to consult: how is diabetes diagnosed if the blood sugar level is high?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, a single blood sugar test result being high is not accurate. It is recommended to take two more tests—once fasting and once 30 minutes to two hours after a meal—to make a diagnosis. Diabetes can also be inherited across generations, so it is important to pay attention to your health in daily life. Avoid overtime work, maintain a regular lifestyle, do not get angry, and do not eat too many sweet foods. Eat more vegetables, fruits, and drink plenty of water every day, and pay attention to exercising your body.
