Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the details given. From the information given it is clear that she has uncontrolled blood glucose (hba1c%11.9%) & high fasting glucose. The condition is t2 diabetes. Usually when hba1c% goes beyond 9% on detection, a doctors advise insulin initially for a period of 3 to 4 months along with some oral antidiabetics. Once glucose levels are brought in good control, then patient can be shifted to only oral drugs. As regards dyslipidemia (high cholesterol), that will get corrected with appropriate treatment and diabetes control. From the query I am not able to place where are you based. According to me there is no reason to do any other tests. Priority is to get her glucose levels under control. Since this is an open question, here we are supposed to give only general advise. No drugs can be prescribed or recommended. If you want any specific help in terms of treatment (changing medication and other specific instructions) you will have to come in a private conversation so that I will be able guide. Please do get worried. The levels are quite high and will come down with treatment. She can be controlled with oral drugs later. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.

A blood glucose test is a blood test that screens for diabetes by measuring the level of glucose (sugar) in a person's blood. Normal blood glucose level (while fasting) range within 70 to 99 mg/dl (3.9 to 5.5 mmol/l). Higher ranges could indicate pre-diabetes or diabetes. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details given. Following are my observations: 1)Your Blood glucose mentioned (130 mg) is it fasting, after food or random one? There is no clear indication. 2) HbA1c is very close to be in the diabetes range, which 6.5%., there is a need to look at after food and fasting both glucose levels carefully. 3) As you are 55 years old, there is a need to look at kidney functions too, hence serum creatinine and urea also need to be observed along with lipid profile. 4) BP (150/95 mm Hg is higher than normal upper limit, needs to be maintained around 120 to 130/60 to 80 mm Hg. 5) With a BMI of 26.61 kgs/Sq meter(Normal < 23 kgs/Sq meter) you are over weight. Your ideal body weight should be about 58 kgs. So there is a need to look at your dietary pattern and extent of daily exercise. 6) Please clarify what are you referring to PCT? Because such short forms are confusing. Plus it is always good to mention actual values rather than saying - thyroid hormone levels, creatinine etc are "Normal". Because that does not convey anything at all. As I am not aware what are the "Normal" values according to you. So to suggest any treatment I need to know all the specifics that I have stated above, It is better if you come back with all the details then I will be able to give specific advice. It is better if you come in a private conversation, then I will be able to prescribe the drugs if required. In this communication we are supposed to give only general guidelines, No drugs can be prescribed. Thanks.

You didn’t mention it’s fasting or pp or random. As range of normal sugar changes. Any way it’s on higher side but if it’s fasting then he needs to start medicine asap. Follow diabetes diet which simply means eating the healthiest foods in moderate amounts and sticking to regular mealtimes. A diabetes diet is a healthy-eating plan that's naturally rich in nutrients and low in fat and calories. Key elements are fruits, vegetables and whole grains. U can take (moderate amount) grapes. Apples. Berries. Citrus fruits. Papaya. U should avoid sugar-sweetened beverages. Sugary beverages are the worst drink choice for someone with diabetes. Trans fats sugar, cake, pastries mithai/sweets chocolate fruits like mango, litchi etc. White bread, pasta fruit-flavored yogurt. Sweetened breakfast cereals. Flavored coffee drinks. Honey 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or soaked almonds or any seasonal fruit. No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. 3. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, seasonal fruit, a cup of curd/milk etc 4. Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep. 5. Maintain active life style 6. Avoid fast foods, spicy n fried foods 7.take a lot of green vegetables n fruit. 8. Drink lot of water. 9.curd is good for u. Exercise in the form of yoga, cycling, swimming, gymming, walking etc. Do suryanamaskar for good health regularly for more details you can consult me.

You have clearly diabetes and try the diabetic diet and precautions as I outline here. Diabetes affects all organs in the body – eyes, kidneys, nerves, reproductive system all are affected, in fact, from toe to hair. For diabetic control, patient and doctor should be in constant touch for regular follow up and advice. The common symptoms are: -both types of diabetes have some of the same tell-tale warning signs. Hunger and fatigue. Your body converts the food you eat into glucose that your cells use for energy. But your cells need insulin to bring the glucose in. If your body doesn't make enough or any insulin, or if your cells resist the insulin your body makes, the glucose can't get into them and you have no energy. This can make you more hungry and tired than usual. Urinating more often and being thirstier. The average person usually has to pee between four and seven times in 24 hours, but people with diabetes may go a lot more. Dry mouth and itchy skin. Because your body is using fluids to make pee, there's less moisture for other things. You could get dehydrated, and your mouth may feel dry. Dry skin can make you itchy. Blurred vision. Changing fluid levels in your body could make the lenses in your eyes swell up. They change shape and lose their ability to focus. You need a total check up before doing anything. Diabetes, often referred to by doctors as diabetes mellitus, describes a group of metabolic diseases in which the person has high blood glucose (blood sugar), either because insulin production is inadequate, or because the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin or both. It is a difficult task to control blood sugar in the desired normal range. Whatever we eat is metabolized to sugar in the body to provide energy for our daily activities. For absolute control, one has to monitor his / her blood sugar at regular intervals (self-monitoring of blood glucose – smbg). Though difficult, this can be done by a glucometer and keep a record. Get an idea of fasting sugar (fbs) and 2 hours after food (ppbs), & hba1c (inform me) and check before dinner and after every major food. The basic idea is to reduce the food intake to 1/3 of what you take now. The dictum of sugar control is diet, exercise, diet + medicine and at later stage medicine+ insulin will be needed. There are different diet plans of varying calories for each person depending on his activity & lifestyle. For diabetes, hypertension (high bp) and much long-term illness control there is the need for regular advice and follow up. Just one-time consultation or advice is not enough to guide a diabetic in a scientifically & medically correct manner. Forgiving you regular follow up you ask me with all details like your daily eating pattern and medicines you take. I assure you proper guidance. If you keep in touch personally.

You have diabetes and need good control of diabetes with medicines and dieting. You have clearly diabetes and try the diabetic diet and precautions as I outline here.

Do urine pregnancy test. It should be done 10 days after missing your period. For example if your date was 10th, then do the test on 20th. Before that it can give false negative or false positive test if it’s negative then you need to do tsh, cbc n blood sugar random at some lab. If it’s normal then go for ultrasound of abdomen consult online with details.
