Patient's question:
I felt really unwell in the past few weeks, and the doctor said I had glucose in my urine. I was very worried about developing diabetes, so I was honest about it and wanted to know how to prevent it from happening again. So, I want to ask what are the methods for early prevention of diabetes?Doctor's answer:
A single instance of glycosuria cannot be used to diagnose diabetes. It may be caused by fever stress or the consumption of large amounts of sugary foods during bowel movements. It is recommended to have your fasting blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c tested at the hospital. If necessary, a glucose tolerance test should be performed to determine if you have diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance. To prevent diabetes, it is important to control your diet, reduce the intake of high-fat, high-sugar, and high-cholesterol foods, and engage in regular physical activity. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
