We used to tell our patients who have FASTING BLOOD SUGAR of 6.5 ( normal: 5.4) to go on a diet low in carbohydrates such as sweets, cakes, and pastries and go spend their high caloric intake in the gym. Not anymore. For the past 10 years that we had this protocol, there have been an increase of uncontrolled diabetics and cases of kidney dialysis. 10 years ago, we had 5 dialysis machine and these number could cope with the number of hemodialysis done every day. Today, we have approximately 400 dialysis machines in the city but the backlog of patients have increased almost triple.
This statistics was approximated to the population increase and increase of the people's per capita income. These factors do not influence the present crisis of dialysis. Thus, the protocol was change. Today, we advise people with this FBS result to take medicationsas early as this.
