Al-Marsad Newspaper: Diabetes consultant Dr. Khaled Al-Dosari explained when blood sugar for diabetics is considered high and the reasons for its rise.
He said during an interview with the “Saudi Arabia” channel: “If the fasting sugar” 8 hours “is higher than 180, this is considered high, and if it is two hours after eating, it is higher than 180, it is considered high,” pointing out that the rises 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 sugar, infections, and some diseases such as rheumatism and neurological diseases that require taking cortisone, all of which are reasons that raise sugar in general.
He added: Some foods raise sugar, such as carbohydrates, as well as insufficient medications, and patients refuse to take insulin.
