The 2-hour postprandial blood glucose of 10.2mmol/L does not necessarily require medication, but needs to be considered in conjunction with the patient’s condition, and it is recommended that the patient consult a specialist.
If the patient has the typical “three more and one less” symptoms of diabetes, and meets the fasting blood glucose 7 ≥ mmol / l, or 2 hours after the 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.
Although the 2-hour postprandial glucose 10.2mmol/L does not meet the diagnostic standard of diabetes mellitus 2-hour postprandial glucose, but between 7.8~11.1mmol/L, considering abnormal glucose tolerance, that is, pre-diabetic, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further improvement of glucose tolerance, glycated hemoglobin and other related tests to assess whether diabetes.
Generally speaking, most patients with abnormal glucose tolerance can reduce their blood glucose to the normal range through strict diet and exercise treatment. For those with poor diet and exercise control, oral hypoglycemic drug therapy, such as metformin and acarbose, can be standardized as prescribed by the doctor.
Patients with abnormal 2-hour postprandial blood glucose need to go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying their condition.
