Patient's question:
Yesterday afternoon, I had a health check-up at our company. Every year, our company conducts routine health check-ups. In the past two years, my health check reports showed no abnormal conditions. However, this time my glucose level was 20. I would like to know if a glucose level of 20 indicates diabetes?Doctor's answer:
The concentration of glucose in the blood fluctuates within a certain range. Normal fasting blood glucose levels are between 3.9-6.1. Randomly measured blood glucose levels below 11.1 may indicate diabetes. Your blood glucose level is 20, which is excessively high. It is recommended to visit the local hospital's endocrinology department for a follow-up examination to have your blood glucose tested and confirm the diagnosis of diabetes. Timely use of hypoglycemic medication for treatment is advised, along with reducing the intake of sweet foods.
