Detailed Answer:
Dear friend, Greetings from HCM.
As you have checked only once please do not get anxious. Also was it a truly fasting sample. Did you take anything, by mouth for the preceding 10-12 hours before the test. Even if you have taken a glass of milk, it will affect the results.
Give some time and see that you do not have any sort of stress or infections . may be after a month you check your fasting glucose after 8 to 10 hours of overnight fasting . post prandial glucose, mean plasma glucose, HbA1c, lipid profile and microalbuminuria done in a reputed lab.
Later we will take decision. What ever happen now you need to start lifestyle changes seriously.
You have to cut down carbohydrates and take more of protein and fiber rich food. You need to divide your meal in to 4 / 5 equal parts and 2 / 3 snacks in between.
You need to practice yoga, meditation and physical exercise to reduce your weight and to get rid of stress.
At least walk for an hour a day.
You can see the result of these lifestyle changes. Even if required you might have to start metformin if the glucose levels are still very high .
Do contact me with the reports and wish you good health
Thanks
