Patient's question:
Diagnosed with diabetes last year, I have been taking medication. I haven't taken any recently, and my fasting blood sugar is 7.9. With a blood sugar level of 7.9 for diabetes, do I still need to take medication?Doctor's answer:
Fasting blood glucose of 7.9 is significantly lower than normal blood glucose levels. This condition requires medication treatment. It is essential to take hypoglycemic drugs under the guidance of a doctor. In daily diet, avoid consuming foods high in sugar and eat more vegetables. Choose fruits with low sugar content, such as cucumbers. Increase activity appropriately and regularly monitor blood glucose levels. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
