Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up recently, and I found that my urine sugar was a bit high, but my blood sugar was not. Regarding this condition, I have been very troubled. If I have diabetes, it's quite difficult to choose medication. Therefore, I want to consult here. Is it diabetes if my urine sugar is high but my blood sugar is not?Doctor's answer:
If the urine sugar is high but blood sugar is not, it does not necessarily mean diabetes. It could be that the patient consumed too many beverages before the test, which may have affected the diagnosis of diabetes. The main basis for diagnosis is the patient's fasting blood sugar or post-meal blood sugar. In some cases, insulin function tests and glucose tolerance tests may also be necessary. The diagnosis is determined based on the test results, and in terms of treatment, oral hypoglycemic drugs may be required.
