Hi,
Do you have family history of diabetes? If yes, then you have to repeat the blood glucose and if its high, medication is required.
GTT-glucose tolerance test is required to confirm. You have to go to the hospital in empty stomach. They will check the empty stomach and post food intake blood glucose levels. Urine analysis also is required.
Don't worry about SGPT, SGOT, they are borderline high. If you had jaundice in the past, this result you may expect.
