A blood glucose of 23mmol/L indicates that a diabetic patient is in a more serious hyperglycemic state, and may even experience acute complications of diabetes.
The diagnostic criteria for diabetes are: if there are the typical “three more and one less” symptoms of diabetes, fasting blood glucose 7 ≥ mmol/l, or 2 hours after meal blood glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol/l, or random blood glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol/l, or glycated hemoglobin ≥ 6.5% of any of them can be diagnosed as diabetes.
If there are no symptoms of diabetes, two plasma glucose events meeting the above criteria are required to confirm the diagnosis.
So regardless of the blood glucose at any point in time, 23 mmol/L is well above the normal range. This indicates that the patient is in a more severe glycemic state and may develop acute complications of diabetes such as diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar coma, etc. He needs to be seen in the hospital immediately and treated aggressively.
When the blood glucose value of 23mmol/L occurs, it is recommended to go to the hospital for consultation and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
