Hi Manoj
Thanks for the query
From history it appears to be impaired fasting glucose condition since your fasting sugar is 120 and you have a family history of diabetes ,in addition to weight loss and weakness.
I would suggest you to undergo following tests and post the reports at your earliest
CBC/ESR/PBF/URINE COMPLETE AND C/S
BLOOD SUGAR FASTING AND POST GLUCOSE (2hr) after ingestion of 75 gms of glucose
LFT/RFT/LIPID PROFILE/X-RAY CHEST (PA VIEW)/ECG
Meanwhile you should avoid taking sweets/potato/rice /arabi sabji/shakarkand and very sweet fruits
Take tea and milk without sugar
Take daily brisk walk (@ one kilometer in ten minutes) for a minimum of 30 mninutes
I find this answer helpful
