How Should High Fasting Sugar Levels Be Managed?
Question: yes I had screening done for my suger levels and they are over the top 12 hr fast where 243 and 2 day later with no sweets or suger my level is 276
Brief Answer:
You are a diabetic patient.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Once your fasting blood sugar is more then 126mg/dl and PP is more then 200mg/dl you are a diabetic patient and you need to take oral hypoglycemic agents like Metformin etc regularly to keep diabetes in control.
So basically you are a Diabetic and you have to start taking Metformin slow release 500mg tablet once daily 10 minutes before break fast.
Secondly i would suggest you to go for HBA1C test to find out the range of blood sugar during the period of last 3 months.
Diet should consist of 50-60% low glycemic index complex carbohydrates(divided in 4 meals) and 30% protein and rest should be fat.
Hope I was helpful.
Thanks
