Increased sugar level after covid
Doctor,
My wife had covid recently and it has been 20 days since onset of symptoms. Now, she has only coughing and little fluctuations in oxygen level between 93-96 sometimes and pulse around 115. I recently tested her for crp, cbc, hba1c, lipid profile.
Her hba1c level is 8.1 and fasting sugar level is around 180 and her triglyceride has also elevated to 276(range < 160). CRP is 7.6(range < 6.0). I have also attached the reports. Please provide valuable advice regarding these and what should be done to control these to normal levels.
Thank you.
