Hello doctor, my father recently had a sugar test. His fasting sugar level was 132 and 2 hour post sugar level was 95. Does he need to start medication? His blood picture is attached below.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Fasting sugar of 132 indicates diabetes, while a post meal sugar of 95 is normal. Sometimes, fasting can be high due to late night meals or early testing; repeat to confirm. Lifestyle changes with diet control, daily walking, and weight management should be started immediately. You can book an HbA1c test to assess average sugar levels over 3 months, which will guide if medication is needed. Share the report with your doctor to decide further treatment.
Dr. Yusuf Suggests...
Take a HbA1c Test (Hemoglobin A1c) Test or Take a Urine Protein- Quantitative- Spot Urine Test

Hello Doctor, I am 56 years old and have been taking Gemy M2 for diabetes for the past 5 years, which has kept my condition under control. Yesterday, my post lunch blood sugar was 300 mg/dL and fasting was 200 mg/dL. Can I take IME 9 along with my regular medication? Please advise.

I have just received my checkup report and it shows at risk prediabetes. Should I eat sweets or avoid them? I fasted for 16 hours before the checkup. I am experiencing frequent thirst and frequent urination. What should I eat and what should I avoid? Whom should I consult?
