Diabetes is diagnosed with blood sugar tests (fasting glucose, HbA1c). Urine sugar may give a clue but is not confirmatory. Please consult with a doctor for proper diabetes testing.

I had a postprandial blood sugar (PPBS) test 2 hours after a meal, and the result was 250. Can you explain why this level is high? Also, can I take fish oil (Omega 3) for cholesterol management?

He is 41 years old, and today we got his HbA1c test result, which is 7.1 percent. Does this mean he is diabetic? We are really worried. Should he start medication immediately, or is it possible to control it with diet and lifestyle changes? Please advise.

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?
