Patient's question:
Doctor, during the recent health check organized by my workplace, it was found that my blood sugar was a bit high. Is a blood sugar level of 8.2 considered diabetes? Could you please tell me what I should pay attention to in my daily life, and what are some good ways to lower blood sugar? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
If you are checking your blood sugar for the first time and find that the reading is high, it cannot be confirmed as diabetes for the time being. It is likely caused by eating too much sweet food in recent days. It is best to go to the hospital for another fasting blood sugar test in a few days. However, it is best not to eat too much sweet food in these days. If the fasting blood sugar reading is high three times in a row, it can be confirmed that the blood sugar is high, and appropriate medication to lower blood sugar is needed. Additionally, pay attention to various aspects in daily life and have regular follow-up tests.
