I had a my blood tested at my physicians office the other day along with an urinalysis and an EKG. Everything was good including my blood pressure, oxygen absorption and pulse, body mass...etc. but my blood sugar level is 149. They said not to be alarmed. To cut back on all sugars and carbs. Is that sufficient or should I pursue a more vigorous anti-diabetic regimen?
Hello, Thank you for your query. I understand your concerns. Random blood glucose value of 149 indicates that your blood sugar is in the Pre-diabetic range. You do not yet have diabetes, and if you control your blood glucose levels by appropriate diet and exercise, the chances of developing diabetes are reduced. For a person to be in non-diabetic range, their fasting blood glucose levels should be less than 106, their 2-hour post radial blood glucose/random blood glucose should be less than 140. Your doctor has been correct in telling you to cut down on sugars and carboy Chat Doctor.  Carboy
