Patient's question:
I had a health check a few days ago. During the detailed examination, my glucose level was 8.5. Is a glucose level of 8.5 considered diabetes? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
You recently had a health check-up and found that your blood glucose level was 8.5 mmol/L. Your blood sugar is slightly elevated. Normal fasting blood glucose is 3.9-6.1, and post-meal blood glucose should not exceed 7.8. It is best for you to visit the endocrinology department of a hospital for examination. You can undergo a glucose tolerance test, which is a common diagnostic method for diabetes. Once confirmed, timely treatment is necessary. Pay attention to eating less sweet food in daily life.
