Patient's question:
I am a diabetic. In fact, I was diagnosed with it three years ago after a thorough examination. In the past two years, I have been taking medication and have been very careful about my diet. Today, I went for a follow-up check-up, and my post-meal blood sugar level was 18.4. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
You have diabetes, and your post-meal blood sugar is 18.4 mmol/L, which is relatively high. This may be related to the effectiveness of your medication. You are young and should pay close attention to treatment to prevent acute and chronic complications caused by high blood sugar. You can visit the endocrinology department of your hospital for follow-up and have the doctor adjust your blood sugar-lowering medication or consider insulin therapy. Closely monitor your blood sugar data to keep it well-controlled. Make sure to eat less sweet food and engage in sufficient physical activity.
