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?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have recently done a blood test, and my report shows a fasting blood glucose of 286 mg/dl and postprandial glucose of 393 mg/dl. Please suggest how I can control this by managing my diet and doing exercise. Which foods should be avoided?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

As per my blood report, GHb (HbA1C) is 10.3. Does this mean I am diabetic? Can it be reduced? I have never had any symptoms of diabetes.
