Hi Doctor. Today I did a fasting blood sugar test, and my blood sugar came as 110. The normal range is 60 to 110. Should I be worried? Please advise. Thanks.

Fasting sugar of 110 mg per dL is at the upper limit of normal and may indicate early prediabetes. Monitor diet, exercise, and retest in a few weeks.

Take a HbA1c Test (Hemoglobin A1c) Test or Take a PPBS Test (Post-Prandial Blood Sugar) Test

My name is M. A. Shafique. I have been dealing with high blood pressure for the past 2 years. I was also previously hospitalized for fluid in the lungs and slow heart function, but I have recovered. Recently, I had a blood sugar test with the following results: Fasting blood sugar: 170 mg/dl Post lunch blood sugar: 281 mg/dl Could you please help me understand these results? Do they indicate diabetes?

Can you test for diabetes without the lab stuff?

He is 41 years old, and today we got his HbA1c test result, which is 7.1 percent. Does this mean he is diabetic? We are really worried. Should he start medication immediately, or is it possible to control it with diet and lifestyle changes? Please advise.
