A two-hour postprandial blood glucose of 9.8 in a diabetic patient is not strictly speaking a blood glucose control standard. But it still depends on the patient’s specific situation.
If the patient is not old, has no other diseases, is in good health, and this blood glucose occurs without glucose-lowering therapy and diet control, you can first advise the patient to follow a strict diabetic diet, such as eating fewer staples, no high-calorie foods, more vegetables, and moderate exercise after meals, and monitor the blood glucose again by improving your lifestyle habits, and if it does not come down to If the blood glucose does not drop to normal, it will need to be treated with glucose lowering.
If the patient has more combined diabetes complications, such as heart, brain, eye, kidney and other important organ involvement, or diabetic foot, skin and respiratory and urinary tract infections, this blood glucose control is also not ideal and should be lowered to normal as much as possible.
If you are older, or have a combination of other serious underlying diseases, and a history of medications that affect blood glucose, such as hormone-related medications, this blood glucose is still largely considered to be on target.
