Patient's question:
Accompanied my dad to the hospital to test blood sugar, the result was 4.8. Hello, is a fasting blood sugar of 4.8 considered diabetes?Doctor's answer:
The normal range for fasting blood glucose should be 3.84 to 6.11. The value you mentioned, 4.8, falls within this normal range, so there is absolutely no need to worry. However, if you have diabetes and have been controlling it with medication, you still need to continue treatment. These medications require long-term use and should not be stopped arbitrarily. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
