Al-Marsad newspaper: Diabetes consultant Dr. Khaled Al-Dosari explained when blood sugar for diabetics is considered high and the reasons for its increase.
He said during an interview with the “Saudi Arabia” channel: “If the ‘8 hours’ fasting sugar is above 180, this is considered high, and if it is two hours after eating, it is above 180, it is considered high “, emphasizing that increases after 180 and reaching large numbers require early intervention.
He pointed out that high blood sugar is due to several reasons, and for example Corona was leading to high blood sugar, infections and some diseases such as rheumatism and neurological diseases that require taking cortisone, all of which are reasons which increase sugar in general.
He added: Some foods increase sugar, such as carbohydrates, as well as insufficient medications, and patients refuse to take insulin.
