Asked by Female, 52 · 4 days ago

Your fasting level of 115 mg/dL is slightly elevated, while your post-meal level of 225 mg/dL is higher than normal. Please don't worry, as these levels are very manageable with the right approach. A doctor must evaluate you first, likely checking your HbA1c. Depending on your results, they may recommend lifestyle changes or prescribe generic medications. Common first-line options include metformin to improve how your body uses insulin, or acarbose to help control post-meal sugar spikes. Please consult a healthcare provider to get a safe, personalised prescription tailored to your needs.
