Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Random blood sugar measurement alone is not a diagnostic indicator for diabetes mellitus.
RBS of 145 mg/dl is borderline higher than normal range.
Also,with 112 Kg for height of 175 cm, your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 36.57, which is classified as Obese (Type II). You are having a high risk of developing non-communicable disease like diabetes mellitus and hypertension, which needs to be taken care of.
For diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, kindly get the following tests done:
1. Fasting blood glucose in the morning after an overnight fast of 10 to 12 hours.
2. Post-prandial blood glucose on the same day at 2 hours after taking regular breakfast.
3. Glycate hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in whole blood.
Kindly consult Physician or Diabetologist with the report and take an opinion.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
All the best.
