If your diabetic father is feeling unusually fatigued or anxious after pneumonia, its important to review his CBC and HbA1c levels. Infections like pneumonia can cause lingering weakness and might have affected his blood sugar control.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a HbA1c Test (Hemoglobin A1c) Test

Hi Sir, my problem is urinating 6 to 7 times per day. My report is: serum bilirubin total 0.92 mg/dl, serum bilirubin direct 0.54 mg/dl, serum bilirubin indirect 0.38 mg/dl, SGOT 40.9 IU/L, SGPT 73.9 IU/L, serum alkaline phosphatase 354.3 IU/L.

I was diagnosed with diabetes 4 months ago, and my doctor advised me that I would not need medication if I improved my lifestyle. At that time, my HbA1c was 6.5. Since then, I have focused on my diet and walked regularly for 1 hour daily. After 3 months, my HbA1c dropped to 6.01. Today, I checked my blood sugar using a testing kit, my fasting reading was 100 mg/dL, and 1.5 hours after eating, it was 102 mg/dL. Does this post meal result mean low sugar? Is this something to worry about, or does it mean my diabetes is under control or even reversed? Please clarify what this indicates.

Why do doctors advise the HBA1C test every three months?
