Hello,
Firstly, get to confirm if diabetic or pre-diabetic now by checking FBS, PPBS, and HbA1C. Your postprandial sugar 185 doesn't diagnose, you as diabetic. Lifestyle modifications are the treatment for prediabetic, or new diabetic which includes low carbohydrates diet, regular exercise, keeping optimal body weight. If these fail to control blood sugars only, then medication needs to be started.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
