Patient's question:
Is normal pre-meal blood sugar and high post-meal blood sugar considered diabetes? Because I'm worried about getting diabetes, I usually check my blood sugar before and after meals. But today I noticed that my pre-meal blood sugar is normal and my post-meal blood sugar is high. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Fasting blood sugar and post-meal blood sugar are both within the normal range to be considered normal. It is recommended to test continuously for a week. If post-meal blood sugar remains persistently high, you should actively see a doctor and take medication to control it. It is crucial to keep blood sugar fluctuations within the normal range. High blood sugar can easily lead to complications. Engage in more activities, exercise regularly, and maintain a light diet. This will also be very important for stabilizing blood sugar.
