Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
First of all, you need to do laboratory tests to confirm diabetes, which include: fasting blood sugar, random blood sugar, 2 hours postprandial HbA1c. Another important point to consider is that, there is no cure for diabetes. All the treatment methods including life style changes, diet and drugs to lower and control blood sugar AIM to slow the progress and prevent the hazards of diabetes.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions. Take care.
