My reading for a non fasting glucose test is 145. The normal range is 70 to 140. Is this okay, or do I need to change my lifestyle and diet for a healthy, diabetes free life?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A non fasting glucose of 145 is slightly elevated. It does not confirm diabetes but could signal risk. Do a fasting blood sugar and HbA1c to know your average sugar control. Focus on diet, exercise, and avoid sugar rich foods.
Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...
Take a GLUCOSE, FASTING Test or Take a HBA1C (GLYCATED HEMOGLOBIN) Test

I am a 47 year old diabetic with neuropathy. My last clinical test showed an HbA1c of 5.9 percent and creatinine of 0.9 mg/dL. At that time, I was taking Metformin 500 mg twice daily, Novomix 30 (18 units before breakfast and 12 units before dinner), and Lantus 20 units at bedtime. Later, my doctor advised Novomix 30 (18 units before breakfast, 12 units before dinner), Lantus 18 units at bedtime, and Transpire M30 after breakfast. My recent report shows that my HbA1c has risen to 7.5 percent, creatinine to 1 mg/dL, and fasting sugar from 84 to 144 mg/dL. I would like advice on whether I should continue the doctor latest prescription or switch back to my previous regimen.
