let me make one thing clear that you will have to remain under observation and adopt a check on your diet. If with diet your level remains normal it is best, if there is marginal rise go for herbal medicines in which two herbs vijyasar and fenugreek have shown good results, Cap. neem has also shown goodresults, if your levels goes very high or donot respond to above measures go in for allopathy.

Hi. The levels are on the higher side. Would advise you to undergo the Fasting blood sugar test and also the oral challenge so that we can have a better understanding. Also usually at this level of blood sugar lifestyle modification is initiated, and gradually depending on the consequent lab reports drug therapy is initiated. However different doctors approach the situtation differently, and it is hard to to comment which is the best option. Please do the investigations to determine if you are in the prediabetic stage and would need pharmacotherapy.
