What Causes High Blood Sugar Levels?

Hi, my doctor recently said I have stomach ulcers,but I keep having pain towards my back in the stomach region and when I walk. I know its not a kidney infection. Today i just have not felt right and tested my blood sugar and it was 150 and hour after my meal. I am not a diabetic. Could i be having problems with my pancreas? Should i go to the doctor tomorrow?

Diabetologist,  's  Response
Hi,
After going through your question I want to clear certain facts-
1) Blood sugar level of 150 1 hour after meal can be considered as normal.
2) Pain in stomach radiating to back may be due to pancreatic problem.

Hence I would like to advise you to consult your doctor.
There is a need for clinical examination depending on it there may be need for ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis which help in evaluation of pancreas and kidneys, blood investigations like complete blood count, serum amylase and lipase (pancreatic enzymes), liver and kidney function test or CT scan of abdomen.

With your mentioned blood sugar level you cannot be labeled as diabetic, I will advise you to do OGTT (oral glucose tolerance test) to confirm your diabetic status.

Hope I have answered your query.
If so do vote the answer.
