Blood sugar level: 127-200 mg/dl 
(Patient's case)

When you got your blood sugar tested, it showed the ranges 127, 128, 129, 130, 11, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179, 180, 181, 182, 183, 184, 185, 186, 187, 188, 189, 190, 191, 192, 193, 194, 195, 196, 197, 198, 199, 200 mg/dl.

Having a blood sugar level of 127–200 mg/dl means that you might be suffering from diabetes or you have high risk of getting diabetes. Normally, when fasting, the blood sugar level should be less than 110 mg/dl.

One or two hours after a meal, levels up to 180 mg/dl are considered normal. But, having blood sugar level greater than 180 m/dl, even after a meal, means that you have diabetes.

Find out the mechanisms, symptoms, treatment, and prevention of fasting after eating and drug-induced hyperglycemia.

Patient's case: I am taking cholesterol and pressure tablets and today I took my meals 2Hrs ago and took a Random Blood Glucose test and result was136.0. mg/dl

Answer: Hi, I understand your concern. 

Random blood sugar of 136.0 mg/dl cannot be considered diabetes until we know exactly the time you measured (how long after having the meal?). So, you must repeat the testing: fasting, 2 hours after eating, and running the HbA1C test to measure the average of blood sugar over the last 3 months. 

Apart what you eat and drink, your medications matter too, especially if you are taking diuretics. Please mention the names of drugs you are currently taking. 

Hope this helps. 

Patient's case: When the HBA1c result is below the 7th sugar level at 140 mg/dl, can we say diabetes is under good control?

Answer: Hi, I understand your concern. 

Yes, when random sugar is around 140, we can admit that you are taking good control of diabetes. 

However, in such cases, I recommend that my patients watch for signs of hypoglycemia. There are chances your blood sugar might drop to hypoglycemic levels especially if skipped meals or fasting. 

Hope this answers you query.
