Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
A fasting blood sugar of 118 can not make us to conclude that you are diabetic or place you on treatment.The cut-off value is 126 and must be had on two different occasions before you are declared diabetic.A value of 118 is high normal also called glucose intolerance.Even if diabetic, initial treatment is not always with drugs unless very high blood glucose values.If i were your Doctor, I will rather suggest she goes on the following measures:
-Regular exercise
-See a nutritionist for nutritional advise.
Hope this will help
Regards
