Patient's question:
My husband is 45 years old this year. Last year, he was carefully diagnosed with diabetes and has been taking medication for about a year. I am very concerned about my husband's health and would like to ask the doctor, what should the fasting blood sugar level be for a diabetic patient like my husband after taking medication?Doctor's answer:
First of all, regarding your medication issue, it is taken to control your blood sugar. If you are a newly diagnosed diabetic, it is generally better to control your blood sugar to normal levels. However, it also depends on your personal tolerance level, as some people may have discovered their condition later. If you control your blood sugar too low in such cases, it may lead to hypoglycemia, and you need to adjust based on individual circumstances.
