If your diabetic father is feeling unusually fatigued or anxious after pneumonia, its important to review his CBC and HbA1c levels. Infections like pneumonia can cause lingering weakness and might have affected his blood sugar control.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a HbA1c Test (Hemoglobin A1c) Test

How does HbA1C work?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Respected doctors, my dad took a blood sugar test on 25th July in the afternoon after having lunch. It showed his blood sugar level as 289. To confirm, we took the blood test the next day, 26th July, which showed a completely different sugar level of 125 fasting and 153 after breakfast. After seeing both reports, the diabetologist advised my dad to exercise and walk more. Which sugar level is accurate? The first one taken after lunch or the second report taken in the morning, fasting and after food? Currently, he has not been prescribed any medicines and is taking the morning reading as the accurate one.
