Hello doctor,I am a 38 year old female with a weight of 58 kg. I do not have any symptoms but just happened to check my blood sugar with a glucometer. The first time random came 126. Then after few days, it was 144. Fasting once was 126 and my PP came 122. Today, I had green tea with honey and tested, it came 130. I was not sure of the reading. So, I repeated back to back thrice and the results were 105, 122 and 112. I am worried I am diabetic as my mom is type 2. I have an active lifestyle otherwise.
Hello. I understand your concern. First of all, you need to stop worrying. You are not diabetic unless your tests show a blood sugar level of more than 200. Since you have a family history and your test results are inconsistent, you could be pre-diabetic. On the other hand, this could also be an error due to a faulty glucometer. Even if you are pre-diabetic, it can easily be corrected by lifestyle modifications, without any medication. I suggest that you go to a reputable laboratory and get the following tests done, which will help us decide better: On the day of testing, after your fasting test is done, eat a normal breakfast like you eat every day. Please follow up with your results. We will definitely work up something for you. For more information consult a diabetologist online -->
