  1. Hello,

    I have gone through your glucose level result and I understand your concern.
    My advice is as following:

    Having random blood glucose checked means that no rules have been followed when running the test. It means that we do not know at what time you had your meal, to calculate the severity of the amount of sugar in your blood.

    However, we should take into account many factors including foods or drinks you might have consumed prior to testing. Going through a stressful situation and work overload can also affec the results.

    So, if I was your caring doctor would advise to run a few more tests to determine whether it is diabetes or not:
    – fasting blood sugar test : make sure you do not eat or drink anything (except plain water) for at least 8 hours
    – oral glucose tolerance test
    – HBA1C test which measures the mean of blood sugar the last 3 months.

    Get these tests done, send me the results so I can analyze them and tell if you are a diabetic or not.

    Meanwhile, do not hesititate to make a few healthy changes in your diet and lifestyle regimen.

    Hope this answers your query. Let me know if you have any other concern.
    Dr.Albana
