Question

My child’s fasting blood sugar test result is 10.7. I would like to inquire about methods to improve this.

Answer

Hello, based on the information you provided, your child’s fasting blood sugar level is elevated, which may indicate the need for further confirmation of diabetes. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and may require starting medication to lower blood sugar levels, such as metformin, while regularly monitoring blood sugar levels and adjusting medication. In terms of diet, it is suggested to have regular meals with controlled portions and avoid excessive sugar intake. Additionally, regular testing of glycated hemoglobin and sugar levels in urine is important to prevent complications. Early detection and early treatment are key. There are many factors that can cause diabetes in children. If your child is diagnosed with diabetes, parents should cooperate with the doctor for treatment, including measures such as gastric reduction, and develop good hygiene habits. Children’s diet should be well-balanced, and they should avoid eating irritating and overly cold foods.
