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. Is a glucose level of 6.35 considered diabetes?Doctor's answer:
A normal fasting blood glucose level is 3.9~6.1. If it's elevated after fasting tests, it's still not at the level of diabetes, but it indicates prediabetes. Therefore, it's important to pay attention to dietary management to prevent blood sugar from further increasing, as excessive elevation can lead to diabetes. Avoid consuming too greasy foods, do not become excessively overweight, and engage in appropriate exercise to effectively prevent this condition.
