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 become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. Can a glucose tolerance test determine if I have diabetes?Doctor's answer:
If both parents have diabetes, and you don't pay attention to your diet, enjoy indulging in large meals, and love drinking cola, the probability of developing diabetes is very high. You should have your blood sugar checked at the hospital. Before a thorough examination, you need to fast and have your fasting blood sugar, as well as your blood sugar one hour after a meal and two hours after a meal, checked. If your blood sugar is high, you need to be treated. Maintain a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, and regulate your physical and mental health.
