What Causes Rise In Sugar Levels In Hemophiliac Patients?

My husband is a mild hemophiliac and contracted Hepatitis C after a blood transfusion back in the 80s' when he was a child.
He has recently been detected with sugar levels higher than normal. When we got it done the first time the results were:
Fasting: 145
PP: 275
He started working out after that and when he got his blood sugar levels checked again, it was within the normal range. We tested it again after 15 days and now again the levels are slightly high. Can you please tell me what we should be doing?

your level Fasting: 145 PP: 275 is definitely high but single high reading does not make it diagnosed as diabetes. there are many reasons for these increase. so you need just to check the sugar level two to three times after intervals of 15 days or a month. if it is still high then start anti diabetic diet, and if it is still high after that then only go for the medicine. if it remains persistent high hen go to the physician and take medicine accordingly.
