Diabetes is diagnosed when blood glucose exceeds 11.1 mmol (200 mg/d) 2 hours after a meal. Postprandial 13.6 mmol is not normal.
Elevated fasting blood glucose: diagnosed as diabetes if above 7.0 mmoL (126 mg/d). 1. If the 2-hour postprandial blood glucose exceeds 7.8 mmoL (140 mg/d), it should be taken seriously and considered as elevated blood glucose. /2. If the blood sugar exceeds 11.1mmol (200mg/d) 2 hours after meal, it is diagnosed as diabetes mellitus. The result measured by blood glucose meter is only the immediate blood glucose value of a certain time, which cannot reflect the fluctuation of blood glucose in a day or a period of time, therefore, it is dangerous to increase or decrease the medication by oneself according to the blood glucose value measured in a certain time. The only way to help your doctor choose the most appropriate treatment plan is to take multiple blood glucose measurements and record the results.
Some people with diabetes tend to focus only on elevated blood glucose and often ignore other risk factors, thinking that it is enough to keep blood glucose under control. The fact is that diabetes often brings together many risk factors for major vascular disease, including hyperglycemia, hypertension, obesity, hyperlipidemic cardiac dysfunction, and more. Hyperglycemia is only one of the many causes. Statistics from the relevant departments show that diabetic patients are 3 or 4 times more likely to suffer from heart disease than ordinary people. This shows that if you focus on blood sugar control and ignore the rest, you still can’t avoid complications.
