Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I think I can help you.

The reports of the query are suggestive of diabetes.
You need to check HbA1C.

Also , start diabetic diet and moderate physical activity.
You may start a medicine like Tab Metformin on low doses like 500 mg. Monitor sugars every 15 days. And dose will be increased gradually.

I have assumed that you have no other problem , illness , or any treatment.

Let me know if there is a discrepancy in my assumptions.
Please feel free to contact us for more information.

Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
