Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has been affected. Now I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. Is a glucose level of 6.11 considered diabetes?Doctor's answer:
You recently discovered that your fasting blood glucose level is 6.11 mmol/L during a health check-up. This blood sugar level is generally considered normal, as it should not exceed 6.1. It is best for you to visit the endocrinology department of a hospital. You can have your doctor check your glucose tolerance, which is a standard diagnostic test for diabetes. This will help clarify your blood sugar level. It is essential to pay attention to dietary control in daily life, avoid excessive sweet and high-calorie foods, and eat more vegetables while engaging in adequate physical activity.
