My fasting sugar is 95 and my sugar level post prandial is 168. I am 65 male. Can life style modification is enough or do I need any oral tabs. I am not taking any tablet now.

Question

Mr Ramji, Thanks for the query.
Your fasting is absolutely normal, where as PP is in the pre-diabetic state (141 to 199 mg/100 ml). This situation does not need any drugs.  Having a modified lifestyle which means regular exercise for about an hour a day, maintaining near normal weight, taking properly balanced restricted diet, avoiding sweets, bakery items and junk foods will help. Since there is no mention of weight and height, it is difficult to say anything frther. Thanks.
