Sir my fasting sugar is 115 mg/dl and pp is 205 mg/dl. It is diabetes or prediabetes? Do I have to start medications or diet control and exercise is sufficient.

Question

A fasting blood sugar level from 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 7.0 mmol/L) is considered prediabetes. This result is sometimes called impaired fasting glucose. A fasting blood sugar level of 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher indicates type 2 diabetes.
Weight loss and exercise can improve insulin resistance and can lower elevated blood sugar levels so that you don't progress to develop diabetes. Additionally, the drug metformin (Glucophage) can lower the risk of getting diabetes, and it can add to the benefits of weight loss and exercise.
CONSULT PHYSICIAN BEFORE USING DIABETIC DRUGS.
