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 paid close attention to many issues in my diet. Today, I went for another follow-up check-up. I have diabetes, and my post-meal blood sugar is 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 revisit the hospital's endocrinology department for a check-up, allowing the doctor to 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 adequate physical activity regularly.
