Question 1

My name is M. A. Shafique. I have been dealing with high blood pressure for the past 2 years. I was also previously hospitalized for fluid in the lungs and slow heart function, but I have recovered. Recently, I had a blood sugar test with the following results:
Fasting blood sugar: 170 mg/dl
Post lunch blood sugar: 281 mg/dl
Could you please help me understand these results? Do they indicate diabetes?

Question 2

My mother has been experiencing vision problems for the past 8 to 10 days. After a checkup and some tests, the doctor said she has a retina problem with blood clotting and swelling behind the retina in her left eye. What should be done next for proper treatment?

Question 3

I have just received my checkup report and it shows at risk prediabetes. Should I eat sweets or avoid them? I fasted for 16 hours before the checkup. I am experiencing frequent thirst and frequent urination. What should I eat and what should I avoid? Whom should I consult?

Can you test for diabetes without the lab stuff?

One atleast needs an accumeter so that one can measure blood gluose levels.
