Hello doctor, my father recently had a sugar test. His fasting sugar level was 132 and 2 hour post sugar level was 95. Does he need to start medication? His blood picture is attached below.

Fasting sugar of 132 indicates diabetes, while a post meal sugar of 95 is normal. Sometimes, fasting can be high due to late night meals or early testing; repeat to confirm. Lifestyle changes with diet control, daily walking, and weight management should be started immediately. You can book an HbA1c test to assess average sugar levels over 3 months, which will guide if medication is needed. Share the report with your doctor to decide further treatment.
Dr. Yusuf Suggests...
Take a HbA1c Test (Hemoglobin A1c) Test or Take a Urine Protein- Quantitative- Spot Urine Test
