  1. Hello Tahir,

    I have just received your email and have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concern.

    You are worried about your blood sugar levels of 256 mg/dL after fasting.
    I was also worried when I came to know.

    But, we should not precipitate into final conclusions. First should understand what’s happening.

    A few more details regarding your health status are required to understand better your current health situation:
    1. Is this the first time you have measured your blood sugar levels?
    2. If not, can you please tell what other readings were?
    3. Have you been diagnosed with diabetes so far?
    4. Are you taking any medication on regular basis? Please mention the names if any?
    5. Please describe more regarding your diet and lifestyle regimen. This is very important especially when it comes to what you have for dinner. When you consume a high carb or high calorie meal at dinner, your body cannot digest it well during nighttime when you are supposed to sleep all night long. This results in high blood sugar readings the next morning.

    Conducting a sedentary life, with low physical activity, again makes it hard to digest the calories you take with food you consume during the day. Thus, the blood glucose balance will get broken.

    Please send the information as requested above for a more specific advice.
    Start changing the way you eat and lifestyle to help your body assimilate the calories intake.

    Looking forward to have the requested information in.
    Dr.Albana
