Hello Sir, Your sugar levels are absolutely normal. You don't need any medications at this point. Just concentrate on a proper healthy diet containing less carbohydrates and more proteins and fibers. Also brisk walk of at least 45 min per day is advisable. These changes will help you to maintain your blood sugars as well as blood pressure. Thank you. Wishing you a good health.

Metformin has proven to be reducing progression of pre-diabetes to diabetes. However, diet, exercise and weight loss are better than metformin in this context. So focus on good diet and exercise. And normal bmi for indian is below 23. Apart from bmi, waist circumference for male should be below 90 cm. So if you are not within these parameters, loose some weight and inches with diet and exercise program. This will benefit to reduce the risk of developing diabetes.
