Hello , since past six months to 1 year my HbA1C is howevering around 6.4-6.7 range . My fasting sugar in lab test is normally 90-100 and in glucometer 100-110 . Inspite of my recent effort to control sweet intake it is not going below 6.4 and as i am pure vegetarian my diet is mainly dal roti subzi and rice all time . Do you think it's a concern if it does not go below 6.4 and if this range is maintained can in continue to avoid medicine which I am not inclined to opt for ? I don't have any specific health concern My liver , kidney , Lipid profile are all perfectly normal . Though I am overweight ( BMI around 29) Kindly guide
Hello Doctor, I am a 30-year-old male. My mother has diabetes, and I am concerned about my own risk. For approximately 8 years, I drank tea 8–10 times a day because I was experiencing depression. I often drank tea immediately after waking up on an empty stomach. For the last 3 years, I have been experiencing the following symptoms: Dry skin Unintentional weight and muscle loss Fatigue Brain fog Headaches upon waking up No morning erections Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) My random blood sugar levels before and after meals and my HbA1c are normal. I have the following questions: Can I still have diabetes despite normal blood sugar and HbA1c results? Could I have insulin resistance or prediabetes? Could drinking tea 8–10 times daily for 8 years have contributed to my symptoms? Could tinnitus be related to any of these symptoms? Which investigations should I undergo to identify the cause of my symptoms? I would appreciate your advice on the most appropriate tests. Thank
Checked for Insulin resistance , homa ir index came 3.25 and fasting insulin 28.9. Other hbA1c and fasting glucose tests came normal. Is medication required for this ? Have pcod and also overweight. Kindly provide some dietary tips for this.
I am 17 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with diabetes by OGTT at around 2 months of pregnancy. My fasting sugars are consistently <95 mg/dL, but sometimes my post-meal values are high (highest 178 mg/dL). Initially, I managed it with diet, but my endocrinologist started NovoRapid due to occasional high 1-hour post-meal readings. I currently take 4 units before breakfast, 9 units before lunch, and 9 units before dinner, and I am not taking any oral diabetes medications. I’ve noticed that my home glucometer readings are often 15–20 mg/dL higher than laboratory results, and I sometimes experience symptoms suggestive of low blood sugar. Could this glucometer difference affect insulin dosing? Is it normal for NovoRapid requirements to increase as pregnancy progresses?
