My mother is 53 years old and has diabetes. Her recent blood report shows, serum creatinine is 1.0 mg/dL, blood urea is 33 mg/dL, cholesterol is 144 mg/dL, fasting blood sugar is 104 mg/dL, and post meal blood sugar is 177 mg/dL. Are these results concerning, and what should be the next steps for her care?

Her values are within acceptable ranges for someone with diabetes. However, blood sugar levels after food are a bit high. Please ensure her medications and diet are reviewed by her doctor regularly. HbA1C check is advised. Consider performing lipid profile and kindly consult a general physician.

How does the A1c test identify glucose levels?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My question is about whether labs have different reference values because of the reagents used in processing. My lab report shows an A1C value of 6, and the lab normal range shows up to 6.2. I understand that normal values are usually less than 5.7, but in this case, can 6 be considered normal since the lab range shows up to 6.2? I understand fasting is high, but please restrict your answer to differences in lab normal ranges.

Glucose in my urine test shows present + + + +. What does this mean? I am diabetic for 6 years. The rest of my urine test report is normal. My blood sugar level after breakfast is 248, checked at home. Does this indicate early kidney disease? Please reply.
