Diabetes labs with a blood glucose of 15.5 mmol/L require specific information about the patient’s current physical condition, when the elevated blood glucose was detected, and how well it was treated.
The most basic treatment for diabetes is dietary control and physical activity, and failure to have good control of blood glucose on this basis is followed by consideration of pharmacologic intervention.
If a new onset diabetic has a fasting blood glucose or a blood glucose check of around 15.5 mmol/L at any time after a meal, this is still a high blood glucose value, and it is recommended to choose oral hypoglycemic drugs or insulin injections as soon as possible according to the doctor’s prescription. However, if a diabetic patient who has been treated for more than 3 months has a blood glucose value of 15.5 at any time after meals, or glycated hemoglobin or fasting blood glucose, it is necessary to change the original treatment plan to a combination of oral medication and insulin. The oral medications available are metformin hydrochloride extended-release tablets, glibenclamide tablets, glipizide extended-release tablets, etc. Clinically used insulin preparations are divided into short-acting, medium-acting and long-acting insulins. The choice needs to be made on a case-by-case basis.
