Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 57 years old this year. Yesterday morning, I measured my blood sugar on an empty stomach, and it was very high. I don't know what to do, and I'm very worried. Will there be a major problem again? So, I would like to consult the doctor on how to deal with high fasting blood sugar?Doctor's answer:
A 57-year-old male measured his fasting blood glucose in the morning, and the result was high. If he is already a diagnosed diabetic, this situation indicates poor blood sugar control, and it is necessary to promptly reassess and adjust the use of hypoglycemic medications. If he has never been diagnosed with diabetes, and this occurs again, he needs to seek follow-up medical attention, undergo an intravenous fasting blood glucose test at the hospital, and have other careful examinations such as hemoglobin A1c, to confirm or rule out diabetes and receive standardized treatment.
