Morning Zainul: Thank you for asking dLife.com and bringing your results/concerns to us. Please review some of the outstanding materials featured on this web site for help and support with your journey of Diabetes.
Most likely you are aware, the test results you report suggest the blood glucose is not controlled and you would qualify as a Ty2, (we are unable to diagnose), however, if accurate by my interpretation, these values put you at risk, or "take action now" and see your PCP/MD for medical interventions. All the test results suggest you are over recommended ranges by 2-3 mmol/l. The presence of glucose in the urine, ever so slight, is serious due to the high threshold of the kidney, suggesting your values are too high!!! Diabetes is a group of related conditions, each resulting in elevations of blood glucose levels. Your insulin, a hormone secreted by the beta cells in the pancreas and is mainly responsible for controlling the glucose levels. Treatment always involves meal planning and physical activity (referred to as lifestyle therapies) and may include oral medications and/or insulin.
