What is a desirable non-fasting blood glucose number?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My father has been having diabetes for the last 3 years but he never consulted any doctor. From the blood report we came to know that his sugar level is above 350. He is also having teeth sensitivity problems but the doctor said sugar must be reduced first, then only treatment can be done. In Dehradun I am unable to find any doctor for diabetes? Please help me.

My dad lab report shows fasting glucose 180 mg and postprandial glucose 235 mg. What does this mean and what should we do next?
