A sugar level of 650 mg per dL usually points to Type 2 diabetes, which is common in thalassemia due to iron buildup. This iron can weaken the pancreas and lead to a secondary form of diabetes. Only proper testing can confirm the exact type.

Type of Diabetes:
- Given the high blood sugar level at diagnosis (650 mg/dL) and age, it is likely Type 2 Diabetes. However, a definitive diagnosis should be confirmed by a healthcare provider.
Considerations:
- Thalassemia major and diabetes management may require specialized care. Regular monitoring and tailored treatment plans are essential.
Action Steps:
- Consult with an endocrinologist for a comprehensive evaluation and management plan.
- Ensure regular follow-ups to monitor blood sugar levels and adjust treatment as needed.
