What Does My Health Check Up Report Indicate?
Question: Hi Doctor,
Recently I have undergone master health check up on 8th of January 2016 everything came normal , except Lipid profile. this is due to the cholesterol drug which i stopped 2 months back.
Now I started taking again.
But my concern is my Fasting blood sugar level is 88 mg/dl and had my breakfast( I had 2 idly's + 2 dahi wada's + tea) post plasma glucose is 74 mg/dl after 2 hours of break fast, post plasma glucose was done.
why is fasting level is higher than post glucose levels. I am also feeling hungry from past few months and eating every 2 hours.
Please advise.

Hi,
I am Dr Mittal. I have read your message. I think I can help you.
First, the idea that lipid profile is high because medicine was stopped is a wrong concept. It's high because diet is rich in lipids and you are not getting enough exercise. It's nothing to do with tablets. Tablets are a treatment.
As for sugars. PP may be Lowerthan fasting because you may be active during the period. Body uses sugars for its basic activity. So if you are XXXXXXX after breakfast , which is often the case in health check ups , the PP would be low.
last excess hunger is a sign of anxiety in many people. I think the anxiety about sugars may have lead to this. So just relax. Practicing yoga may have a positive impact.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal.

Hi Doctor,
Thank you for the reply,
Could you please help me the comments which you have mentioned :
PP may be Lower than fasting because you may be " active " during the period. Body uses sugars for its basic activity. So if you are "mobile" after breakfast which is often the case in health check ups , the PP would be low.
I Do exercise daily morning 45 minutes and evening 45minutes brisk walk and jogging

Brief Answer:
Specific information
Detailed Answer:
that means that you should be sitting during the time between fasting sugars and pp sugars except for taking meal or glucose. If during that time you are moving or doing something the sugar may be used up leading to a lower pp sugar. It has nothing to do with the exercise regime unless you did that between the two tests.
Best of luck. Dr Mittal
