Understanding Fasting Blood Sugar Levels

• A fasting blood sugar (FBS) level of 150 mg/dL is above the normal range (70-100 mg/dL), indicating hyperglycemia.

Role of Medications

• Vildagliptin, Glimepiride, and Metformin help lower blood sugar by increasing insulin production and reducing glucose production. Despite medication, blood sugar can remain elevated due to various factors.

Possible Reasons for Elevated FBS

• Factors include medication adherence, diet, stress, illness, or diabetes progression. Regular monitoring and possible medication adjustment are important.

Recommended Next Steps

• Consult your physician for evaluation. Consider additional tests like HbA1c for long-term glucose control. Implement lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise.

When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention

• Be aware of signs of very high blood sugar or diabetic emergencies.

Summary and Reassurance

• Continue managing your condition and maintain communication with healthcare providers to optimize treatment.
