My sugar is fine, but I feel terrible: Doctor explains what your diabetes report may be missing

Many people sit across the doctor’s desk with a puzzled look. Their blood sugar report says “within range.” Their HbA1c looks acceptable. Yet they feel drained, foggy, irritable, or simply not themselves.Dr Chirag Tandon, Director – Internal Medicine, ShardaCare Healthcity, sees this often. He explains, “Many patients walk into my clinic saying, ‘My sugar levels are normal, but I still feel exhausted, foggy, or unwell.’ Here we must see what is behind a single figure on a diabetes report. Although Haemoglobin A1c and fasting glucose are significant, they do not give the entire picture of the impact of diabetes on the body in the daily sense.”Diabetes is not a single number. It is a full-body metabolic condition. And sometimes, the report misses what the body is quietly struggling with.
