Hello, Thanks for the query. You are in a prediabetic state. This condition is reversible. Provided one adapts a modified lifestyle. Meaning, avoiding sweets, deep fired foods, junk foods, pastries, bakery items, and foods made of maida. Plus refrain from alcohol and smoking, avoid colas. Daily exercise for more than 1 hour. These things will help in postponing or even preventing development of diabetes. Thanks.
