Blood Sugar Level Interpretation:
- A blood sugar level of 150 mg/dL is higher than the normal fasting range.
- Normal fasting levels are below 100 mg/dL; 100-125 mg/dL indicates prediabetes.
-
Postprandial Consideration:
- If the reading was post-meal, it might be less concerning but still requires attention.
- Post-meal levels are typically under 140 mg/dL.
-
Next Steps:
- Discuss this result with your healthcare provider for evaluation.
- Consider further testing if necessary.
-
Symptoms to Watch:
- Increased thirst, frequent urination, or unexplained weight loss should prompt medical advice.

Lifestyle Recommendations:

View allI'm struggling with some health issues and I'm not sure what to make of them. I've been dealing with wheezing and trouble breathing, along with a dry cough. At first, I tried treatment for GERD, but it didn't help. This has been happening on and off for about 4 years now. What worries me even more is that since last year I've noticed I'm urinating a lot more and it's really diluted, plus I'm feeling dehydrated. My plasma osmolality is 320. Are these signs related to something specific? My kidney, liver, and thyroid functions all checked out normal, and so did my CBC. What could be going on here?

I'm a bit confused about my blood glucose levels. My fasting sugar came out higher than my reading two hours after eating. It was 155 fasting and 139 after a meal. At one point, my fasting level was 200, and a few days later, it dropped to 155. Why would my fasting sugar be higher than after a meal? Is this something to worry about?
It is not uncommon for blood glucose levels to be higher in the morning (fasting) compared to after a meal. This is due to the dawn phenomenon, where hormones released in the early morning hours cause blood sugar levels to rise. Additionally, if you had a high-carbohydrate meal the night before, it can also contribute to higher fasting blood sugar levels. To help manage your blood sugar levels, you can consider taking Metformin. It helps to improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
