Question
During the physical examination on May 28th, the fasting blood glucose level was measured at 14.5, and urine glucose was +3; during the re-examination on June 18th, the fasting blood glucose was 8.5, and the 2-hour post-meal blood glucose was 14.21, with normal urine and glycated hemoglobin of 10. Over the past 4-5 months, a large amount of sweet food has been consumed. Is there a relationship between blood sugar levels and the consumption of sweet food? Although there are no obvious symptoms at present, is it possible to have diabetes?
Answer
It is recommended to control the diet and use hypoglycemic drugs under the guidance of a doctor. Consider using metformin tablets and glipizide sustained-release tablets for treatment. If blood sugar cannot be controlled, further insulin injection therapy may be required to prevent complications. Additionally, attention should be paid to rest, avoid consuming high-sugar foods such as candies and desserts. Reduce fat intake and avoid overly greasy and high-fat foods. Choose foods rich in fiber, such as whole grains and high-fiber vegetables. Eat regularly and in moderate portions. Ensure adequate protein intake and encourage drinking plenty of water.
