Is FBS Of 128 A Cause For Concern?
Question: My fasting blood sugar is 128. i take two (500mg) Metformin daily. Bad or good
Brief Answer:
Consideration
Detailed Answer:
hello family question.
A fasting blood sugar of 128 is good but still not optimal. It would be ideal if you're fasting blood sugar could get down to a range of 80 to 100.
Research has shown that optimal control of blood glucose help to decrease problems that may occur many years later including high blood pressure, kidney disease as well as visual disturbances.
at foreman is a very good medication. Your doctor can sit down and talk with you about other medications that might be available or possibly to consider increasing the dosage of the MetForman perhaps to three times per day.
it was awfully we will go to check A-Team a globin A-1 C which gives a general average of what sugar over the previous three months. If your hemoglobin A-1 C is above the optimal range it would be more reason to consider changing your medication regimen.
Thank you again for sending your regimen and results. I think with minor adjustment you can retrieve optimal goal for continued good health.
I wish you all the best and continued excellent health.
Sincerely,
Dr. Galamaga
