Prediabetic

[JIGARMEHTA]

Hello. Am 30 years old with 98 kg weight. I have done my fasting sugar test today and it was 103 with a remark of prediabetic. After 2 hours lunch including roti dal rice n small piece of sweet it came 110. My serum cholesterol came 215 today. Please advice. Is it early sign of Diabetes. Should I worry with this results.

Your present condition as far as diabetes is concerned,is not alarming.But,I can suggest that you reduce your weight,as much as you can,in a healthy manner.Also,I hope you are not worried about diabetes,because worry only aggravates it.

Fasting levels can be tricky because you could be a diabetic or pre-diabetic and have fasting BS < 100 mg/dl. Conversely having a fasting BS of 103 doesn't mean you are pre-diabetic for sure. Your PP (post meals) levels are well within the normal/ acceptable non-diabetic range. What did your doctor have to say? If they haven't already done it I would insist on getting a HbA1C done, that is really a good and reliable indicator of your average BS levels.

Do bear in mind that some people have a normal A1C reading and PP readings but slightly elevated fasting BS levels. Its ok if you ask for information/ opinions from others what counts the most is what your doctor has to say about this. IF you don't get proper answers or information from your doctor go to another doctor who would take the time to go over things with you and look at you as an individual patient.

Good luck
