A fasting blood sugar level of 140 mg/dL is slightly elevated. Since she is currently taking Amlokind AT (which contains amlodipine and atenolol) for her blood pressure, it is important to have her evaluated by a doctor rather than starting any new medication on your own. Her doctor will likely recommend an HbA1c test to see her three-month average and determine if a lifestyle change or a medication like metformin is appropriate. For now, please reassure her and encourage gentle daily walks and a balanced, low-sugar diet.
