Patient's question:
Recently, I've been drinking a lot more water and urinating more frequently. My friend said this might be a symptom of diabetes. I want to go to the hospital to get my blood sugar tested. What is the normal range for fasting blood sugar in diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Patients with diabetes may experience the symptoms of "three more and one less" again. That is, they drink more, urinate more, and eat more, but their body is still in a state of thinness. If you suspect you have diabetes, you can go to the hospital to have your fasting blood glucose tested. The normal value of fasting blood glucose is between 3.9 to 6.1 mmol/L. If the measured blood glucose is greater than 6.1 mmol/L, you should be cautious as it indicates a risk of diabetes.
