Hi I am monika 29 years old. Last month I got my total body checkup in that my glucose levels are high. I.e. Fasting glucose 91, glycosylated haemoglobin hba1c 5.7,approximate mean plasma glucose is 116.89. I am little worried after seeing this report. Am I pre diabetic should I use medicine or will there be any diet alternative or lifestyle change for this. 4 years back I delivered boy with 4.3 kgs weight. My weight is 66 kgs height 165 cms. Sometimes if I skip breakfast I feel so weak that I even I can't stand. Thank you.

Normal fasting sugar is less than 100 mg%and your hba1c is at y upper end of normal value your bmi is 24 did you have gdm during last pregnancy? Is there history of diabetes in family? There is no reason to worry at present as values are still within range but as a precaution one should adopt healthy active life style such as doing exercises or brisk walking for 45 minutes a day for at least five days in a week eat leafy vegetables and fruits reduce total caloric intake by 10-15 by avoiding in between snacking and juices take juicy fruits as such instead of juice most important if you are calling second baby then take care that your sugar levels are normal for at least 3 months prior to conception.
