Is FBS Value Of 130 A Cause For Concern?
Question: Hi Sir,
on 11th sept I tested blood sugar in empty stomach and reports came as 130.but after meal the sugar level is fallng in normal range. The problem I am facing now is I am feeling weakness.get tired after some exercise.i am feeling as if I am loosing stamina from my both legs.
I take rice in weekend twice.mostly I take roti.I am also not having anything which have sugar contents.
sugar found in my blood since last 3-4 years. before the last test it was in the range of 110-120.
I believe that because of my new born baby I had some 3-4 months sleepless nights(no exercise as well) due to which my latest report sugar level came as 130.
Sir please suggest the way forward and suggest if I should take any medicines for now to control the sugar level.

I am doing regular walks now and will test again after 1 month that falls on oct 11 and will share the reports.
Also let me know how much distance I should walk to be on the safe side.some day I walk for 5km and some day 2km.
Sir shall I take some supplement for the weakness I am getting especially on leg.
