Blood sugar level
Hello dr.
Randomly I checked my glucose with glucometer,it was 267mg/dl.
I'm obese(wt. 103kg,ht.5'7")
Now I'm doing exercises and low card diet since 5 days.
Now my fasting glucose is 147 and post meal it is 162.
1)Should I take medicine or I can manage it with diet and exercise?
2)Can it be reversed?
Kindly suggest me..
Thanks

Hello.. Looking at your age and obesity u are likely benefit from wt loss and subsequent decrease in blood sugar and even reversal
After few day of lifestyle modifications u could bring your Fasting and pp down is good thing..
But still your fasting sugar is above target at present moreover u get yourself tested with Hb1Ac which will give u exact idea of your sugar control in last 6 to 8 weeks...
If u could keep your Fasting below 130, pp below 180 and Hb1Ac below 6.5 then their is no need of starting medication but u have to regularly monitor sugars...!!
