Patient's question:
Diabetics with an empty stomach of 9.6, and a glucose tolerance test of 19.6, is this index relatively high? Since diabetes has already developed, we have been taking medication and controlling our diet. We never eat anything with a bit of sugar, yet we still got this result.Doctor's answer:
A diabetic with a fasting blood glucose level of 9.6 mmol/L and a glucose tolerance test result of 19.6 mmol/L has high blood sugar. If the diet has already been well-controlled, the hypoglycemic medication needs to be adjusted, and a combination of hypoglycemic drugs or insulin therapy may be required. If blood sugar levels cannot be controlled under medication and dietary management, it indicates that the medication regimen needs to be adjusted. During the adjustment, blood sugar levels should be closely monitored.
