Hello, I am 31 year old male. Last year I got to know that my cholesterol was increased and blood pressure was 150/100. My doctor prescribed me with espin 5 and ecosprin av 75. That I am taking daily at night. 2 days ago just for routine checkup I checked my blood sugar. That was 135 fasting and 188 one and half hours after meal. Yesterday it was 108 fasting and 155 after meal. I am overweight 87 kg with 5'7" height. My blood pressure and cholesterol is in control since I am taking medicines. My question is can I control my sugar just by reducing weight and taking balanced diet? Or I have to take medication for it.
