Postprandial blood glucose of 17.3mmol/L is relatively high for both normal people and diabetic patients, and should be treated with reasonable hypoglycemic therapy as prescribed by the doctor.
Patients with diabetes typical “three more and one less” symptoms, meet 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.
Postprandial blood glucose 17.3mmol/L is obviously elevated both random blood glucose and 2 hours postprandial blood glucose, this high glucose state, may induce acute complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis, and need to go to the hospital immediately for diagnosis and treatment. Patients should strictly control their diet, exercise appropriately, and apply hypoglycemic drug therapy such as menthyl insulin under the guidance of doctors.
If the patient has a postprandial blood glucose of 17.3mmol/L, he should go to the regular hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying his condition.
