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

What does the HBA1C 6.9 count mean?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My test report in March/April showed HbA1C 9.0, and my current report shows HbA1C 4.6. I used to take insulin, but since September I have been taking tablets as prescribed: Glyciphage SR 500 twice daily before meals and Voglitor MD 0.3. My current FBS is 92 and PPBS is 128. Kindly let me know what I should do?

I suddenly developed pain in my lower back, buttocks, pelvic area, and thigh joint. I consulted a physician, who prescribed medications for pain and suggested physiotherapy with IFT, which I did for 7 days. The pain gradually decreased and is now localized to one spot in the lower back. I am currently doing back supporting exercises. However, I was recently found to have high blood sugar, with HbA1c of 11.1. Could this high blood sugar be related to my back pain, or will it improve on its own? What special care should I take to manage this condition? Please advise.
