Brief Answer:
sugars are high. diet and exercise plus medicines.

Detailed Answer:
Dear ma'm, diet and exercise are good, but for a short time only. and your sugars are pretty high, crossing 200mg/dl at 1 hr. so metformin would be a better choice along with diet and exercise to postpone complications. regards!
