A member asked:

Can a blood glucose level steadily rise despite efforts to exercise and eat right?

Dr. Ann Agnew answered

Possible diabetes: Blood sugars can rise for lots of reasons and not all of them are related to diet and exercise. It is possible that your pancreas is no longer producing enough insulin or that your body is producing too much of another substance that counteracts insulin. You should probably see your doctor

Dr Lewis and another doctor agreed
