Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.

Sir, The fasting blood sugar level you have mentioned is quiet normal value. The blood pressure you have mentioned is also normal to your age. You said you are regular at exercise. with these details. There is no scope for diabetes as of now.

The HbA1c blood sugar level which shows sugar range for past 2-3 months would be a better indicator to decide sugar control. But don't worry continue same active life style. As of now there is no scope of getting diabetes.

Hope this guides you. For any other queries you can write to us. we will be happy to help you. Thank you.
