Question
Is high fasting blood sugar with normal glycated hemoglobin a sign of diabetes?
Answer
The diagnostic criteria for diabetes are fasting blood sugar exceeding 7.0 or post-meal two-hour blood sugar over 11.1. Based on your normal glycated hemoglobin level, this indicates that your blood sugar levels have recently increased. Once diagnosed with diabetes, it is advisable to first control blood sugar through exercise and diet. If this is not effective, you may need to take hypoglycemic drugs or inject insulin, and you will need to take them regularly over the long term. Please ensure adequate rest, maintain sufficient sleep, engage in moderate work, physical labor, and sports training. Diet should focus on low sugar and low animal fat, and avoid high cholesterol foods.
