Hello ,
Your mother’s
fasting blood sugar (FBS) of 145 mg/dL and post-prandial blood sugar (PPBS) of 249 mg/dL are higher than the typical normal ranges. Generally, an FBS above 126 mg/dL and a PPBS above 200 mg/dL can suggest
diabetes, but these results need confirmation through repeat testing or additional evaluations to ensure accuracy.
Why Consultation Matters
While these numbers are concerning, a proper diagnosis requires more than just test results. A detailed consultation will help us understand her medical history, any symptoms like increased thirst or fatigue, and other factors like family history or lifestyle. This approach ensures we tailor the diagnosis to her specific health needs.
Next Steps
I recommend considering an
HbA1c test, which measures average blood
sugar levels over the past 2-3 months, to complement these results. Additionally, booking a consultation on Practo will allow us to discuss everything in detail and plan the best course of action for her health. Early management is key to preventing complications, so I encourage taking this step promptly.
