Patient's question:
Hello everyone, my grandmother is in her 70s this year. A couple of days ago, she was diagnosed with diabetes 4+. But I noticed that she is no different from ordinary people, there is no difference. I would like to ask, what is the difference between diabetes 4+ and normal people?Doctor's answer:
Through a routine urinalysis, detecting four plus signs of diabetes cannot confirm the severity of the condition. It is necessary to conduct further blood tests to measure fasting blood glucose and random blood glucose levels. The severity of the condition must be confirmed based on blood glucose levels, and the level of glycosylated hemoglobin should also be monitored. Timely oral medication and dietary control should be implemented according to the condition. It is essential to prevent the recurrence of diabetes complications.
