Diabete pp test vary
My husband recently had all his tests done twice at an interval of one week for insurance at apollo clinic his sugar pp levels were 155 and 170 but after that we got sugar tested thricefrom star and lals lab but each time it was within range now we are confused whether he is diabetic or not please tell us what is the sureshot way to know whether he is diabetic or not and should we consult a endocrinologist for it or not should he start medicines and stop sugar intake or not please guide
He could be having pre diabetes which is a step before a person develops diabetes. A blood test called as Hba1c will be helpful in this case. Get the test done and visit a diabetologist. Stopping sugar is not the solution to control diabetes. This is a misconception. It requires a sustained change in the overall diet and lifestyle .
