Whether blood glucose 7.4 is diabetes or not needs to be discussed in different situations, if it is fasting blood glucose 7.4 mmol/L, consider diabetes; if it is postprandial blood glucose 7.4 mmol/L, do not consider diabetes.
The normal value of fasting blood glucose is 3.9 mmol/L ~ 6.1 mmol/L, and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose is less than 7.8 mmol/L. Generally speaking, fasting blood glucose >7.0 mmol/L or postprandial blood glucose >11.1 mmol/L can be considered as diabetes mellitus, so the fasting blood glucose of 7.4 mmol/L is considered diabetes mellitus, and the postprandial blood glucose of 7.4 mmol/L is not considered diabetes mellitus. mmol/L, then diabetes is not considered.
Patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus need to undergo comprehensive treatment under the guidance of a doctor to control the blood glucose level to the normal range through dietary treatment (strictly controlling the intake of sugar, low sugar and low fat, and eating less and more frequent meals), exercise treatment (appropriate aerobic exercise, such as jogging, bicycling, and playing tai chi, etc.), and medication (e.g., Metformin, Acarbose), and so on.
It is recommended that patients with fasting blood glucose of 7.4 mmol/L should visit the hospital in time for targeted treatment under doctor’s guidance.
