Detailed Answer:
Hello
I had gone through your question very diligently and I will definitely help you in best possible way.

You are not having cleat cut diabetes, in fact your suger level is on higher side which could be related to prediabetic condition know as IGT (Impaired glucose tolerance).

At the outset I would like further details for better assessment of the condition
What all symptoms are you having like increased urination, increased appetite or weakness?
Have you tested for blood sugar previously before to this?
Have you started taking glycomet?

I would advise you to GTT ( glucose tolerance test) and HbA1c testing for confirmation of diagnosis.

Meanwhile continue doing Yoga, meditation and relaxation exercise.
You should take low calorie diet 1800 calories per day only
Avoid sugar and related products and food materials with high glycemic index.

Please write back to me with all these details I have asked for, so that I will be able to tell you more precisely.
