Detailed Answer:
Dear friend, Greetings from HCM... i understand your concern... as you know normal fasting glucose is up to 100 mg/dl.... and for diagnosis of diabetes 126 mg /dl 100 to 125 we call it as IMPAIRED FASTING GLUCOSE / PRE-DIABETIC STAGE...
You need to be careful and start lifestyle changes as early as possible .... here are my suggestions for you ...
first stay away from all the fast / processed / and fried food stuffs .. divide your meal in to 4-5 parts per day whenever you feel hungry.. add more of fiber rich food stuffs like green leafy vegetables, raw fruits.. (not juices), eat very less of carbohydrates (rice) avoid sugar completely.. take Millets and breads prepared out of it like ragi.. ragi is a very good source of calcium too...do take more of proteins ... like egg white... say no to oils and cholesterol rich food stuffs ... u can take fish (boiled) but chicken (without skin) rarely... based on this you prepare your diet chart and strictly follow it ..Do exercise .. walk at least half an hour to one hour a day ... try and practice yoga and pranayama ... some aasanas are very easy to practice and also beneficial. Quit smoking and reduce your alcohol intake. Moreover, beet root juice (inorganic nitrate), olive leaves, garlic, termeric, tamarind also have proven benefits. if u can follow these (have to!!) you can definitely see difference yourself by the time you have your next blood investigation report in two months ...ALL THE BEST please rate this answer and if no other doubts/followups ..close it
