Patient's question:
Yesterday I checked my blood sugar, fasting blood glucose was 8.1, triglycerides were 4.32. Is this diabetes? I am quite overweight. If I pay attention to my diet and go on a diet, will I still have diabetes or will it completely heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
Normal fasting blood glucose is 3.9-6.1. If it is below 7.0, it indicates diabetes. According to your description, your condition suggests diabetes, which may be related to obesity. The condition is not yet severe and can be adjusted by controlling diet and engaging in appropriate activity. Pay attention to a low-sugar diet, control the intake of staple foods, and eat more vegetables and fruits with low sugar content. Engage in sufficient activity to control weight, regularly check blood glucose levels, and keep blood glucose within the normal range. Diabetes is an autoimmune disease and cannot be completely cured on its own. If blood glucose is controlled normally, it means the diabetes is under control, but it does not mean it has been cured.
