Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and here is my advice.
As per your reports your average sugar level is 193..which is clinically equal to 7.5 to 8 HbA1C range, which is higher than normal .
That means you come under diabetic group so you need medication along with diet and exercise.
So I would suggest you to start Tab Metformin 500 mg before 15 minutes of your breakfast .
Before starting the medicine , kindly do the following blood investigations ..
FBS , PPBS, HBA1C, LFT, RFT, LIPID PROFILE.
Kindly follow up with the reports.
About your Diarrhea, yes it is a common symptom of diabetes. It's more common in people who have had diabetes for a long time. Sometimes, people with diabetes-related diarrhea also experience fecal (bowel) incontinence, especially at night. That's because nerve damage (neuropathy) due to diabetes affects the anal sphincter.
Hope I have answered your query, let me know if I can assist you further.
Waiting for your reply..
Take care.
Regards,
Dr Shyam XXXXXXX
