MY BLOOD SUGAR LEVEL IS ABOVE 250 .AM I DIABETIC?
required further confirmation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and here is my advice.
As per your history, it may indicate diabetes mellitus for which you may require further confirmation.
Please let me know do you have history of frequent urination, increased thirst, fatigue?
Presently are you taking any other medications?
Diabetes is confirmed when,
Fasting blood sugar level more than 125 mg/dl
Post prandial blood sugar level more than 200 mg /dl
Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) more than 6.4
These values may Vary slightly as per laboratory reference levels.
So, for further assessment I will suggest you to consult with endocrinologist. He may procure relevant blood investigations to confirm diabetes as per evaluation. Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying diagnosis.
Mean while, take low calorie diet with more vegetables and fruits. Avoid fast /processed foods, reduce weight if you are obese.
Hope I have answered your query, let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr Shyam Kale.
