Based on the test results you provided, it appears that your blood sugar levels are elevated. However, a single set of test results may not be sufficient to make a definitive diagnosis of diabetes. Here’s a breakdown of the results and their interpretation:
- Sugar fasting 109: A fasting blood sugar level of 109 mg/dL indicates that your blood sugar level after an overnight fast is higher than the normal range (usually between 70-99 mg/dL). This result suggests impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or prediabetes, which means your body is not processing glucose as efficiently as it should.
- PPBS 248: PPBS stands for postprandial blood sugar, which measures your blood sugar level after a meal. A value of 248 mg/dL indicates high blood sugar levels after eating. Elevated postprandial blood sugar levels can be an indication of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or diabetes.
- HbA1c 5.0: HbA1c, or glycated hemoglobin, is a measure of average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. A value of 5.0% is within the normal range (below 5.7%) and suggests good long-term blood sugar control.
It’s important to note that a diagnosis of diabetes is typically based on multiple test results and medical evaluation. To confirm whether you have diabetes or prediabetes, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional. They will consider your test results, medical history, and additional factors to provide an accurate diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment or management options.
Please reach out to a healthcare professional to discuss your test results further and receive personalized advice based on your specific situation.
