Hello, Thanks for the query. Diabetes mellitus occurs either due to Insulin deficiency or resistance to its action or both. Most common reasons which lead to diabetes are Family history of diabetes, Being over weight, being physically inactive, having bad lifestyle, eating of junk foods, alcohol and smoking habits etc. Stress can aggravate it. Various symptoms mentioned are not necessarily seen in every patient of diabetes. Major criteria for diagnosis are: Fasting glucose > 126 mg, PP > 200 mg & HbA1c% > 6.5%. Since your glucose levels are high, it is necessary to take appropriate medications plus take a restricted diet and also exercise refor over 1 hour a day. Thanks.
