Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Blood glucose (fasting) 108 mg is considered as pre-diabetic, as you have stated. It is also important to look at PP glucose level and may be HbA1c%. Fortunately diabetes is preventable or can be postponed for a long time when a person is in pre-diabetic state. Following precautions are needed: 1)Weight control with maintenance of BMI at 23 kgs/Sq met. Presently your BMI is 26.95 kgs/Sq met. Which means you are overweight by almost 10 kgs. 2) Taking healthy balanced diet, with increased quantities of green leafy vegetables, salads and fruit. 3) Always using whole grain products and flour for making roti or chapati. 4) Avoid junk foods, pastries, bakery items, deep fried foods and foods made from maida. 5) Reduce intake of red meat and avoid sweets. 6) Exercise regularly for over 1 hour a day. 7) Refrain from smoking and alcohol. Basically it means adapt a modified lifestyle. That will help in remaining away from getting diabetes. Thanks.

The best way forward is to get disciplined and focus on healthy living. Read as much about healthy habits (lifestyle changes) and start implementing the good habits with consistency. At the same time go for regular health check up so that the doctor can assess your overall health and fitness based on physical examination and tests. Avoid junk food and outside food. Freshly prepared homemade food (with more fruits and vegetables) is preferable. Daily exercise (also include Yoga) for 30 mins to 1 hour will keep the sugar levels in good control.
