Dr. D, what say you?

Di ba hba1c ang mas sinusunod to determine if someone is diabetic, pre, or not?

Ang taas ng blood sugar ko, I am not diabetic but it's 110 na, kaya pala kanina lethargic ako I've been eating a lot of sweets kasi for the past few weeks

My new addiction is buko juice, can I still drink it daily?

buko juice has a relatively low glycemic index.
it does not cause as huge a blood sugar spike as other foods.
but it is still a sugar.
as for all diabetics, "everything in moderation".

yespo.

the traditional way is the oral glucose tolerance test.
then there is the fasting blood sugar test.
then there is the glycosylated hemoglobin test (HbA1c).

the last test is probably the better test, because it reflects long-term glucose control. hindi makaka-daya ang pasyente dito. the value determined is the reflection of glucose control for the past 120 days.
the other two, kasi, can be tweaked by "fasting to death" a couple of days before the scheduled test.

according to the numbers obtained, there is the normal, the diabetic, and in between, the pre-diabetic or impaired glucose metabolism state.

in my opinion,
this is 'way too lenient.

back in the day, 120 was considered perfectly normal.
today, some experts consider 120 as " pre-diabetic", and patient needs to consult his physician and watch his diet.

Di pwede kung mataas sugar. Cut the carbs and sugar.

I googled kasi na BJ is good for diabetics

110 is after how many hours of your last meal? If that's 2 hours after last meal OK pa yan, below 140 after 2 hours for non-diabetic. Pero kung 8 hours after na yan mataas na yan. For non-diabetic 8 hours after last meal should be less than 100.

around after 4 hrs

If the 110 figure came from a “random” blood sugar test, it is normal. However, if it resulted from a “fasting” blood sugar test, she is pre diabetic.
