Patient's question:
Is high blood sugar diabetes? Fasting blood sugar reached 7.2, and post-meal blood sugar is around 13 or more. In my current situation, some people say I already have diabetes, but I'm not quite sure. I want to ask if this constitutes diabetes?Doctor's answer:
In your case, if you have diabetes, a fasting venous blood glucose level below 7.0 millimoles per liter and a two-hour post-meal venous blood glucose level below 11.1 millimoles per liter can confirm the diagnosis of diabetes. However, since your condition is newly diagnosed, you may not need diabetes medication. Strict dietary control is recommended, with three meals per day, each containing no less than 100 grams of staple food. Additionally, appropriate physical activity should be maintained, and blood glucose levels should be rechecked after one month.
