Is FBS Value Of 115 A Cause For Concern?

Sir, I am always thirsty and tired. My fasting blood sugar level is 115. I am 62 years old. I lost my weight. I need to gain weight a little. Sometimes I am very nervous. I am working in an office. Can I take Neurovit tablets. Please advice. Manisha

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your symptoms could be due to diabetes.
To diagnose diabetes melitus FBS should be greater than =>126 mg/dl on two different occasion.

Your FBS 115 mg/dl value suggests impaired fasting glycemia.

I would suggest to go for post meal blood sugar and HBA1c test to confirm about the diabetes.
Meanwhile
Take healthy diet, more green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits
Drink plenty of water, do regular exercise like walking, running and yoga.
Avoid excessive sweet in the diet.
Take small frequent meal rather than large meal
You can take neurovit tablet.
Other management will depend on the test result.
Hope this may help you
