Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.

The sugar level you have mentioned are higher than normal. But you have mentioned only one sugar level. Now you will be considered pre diabetic. This type will come under type 2. Now you can try diet and exercise for 2-3 months with regular blood sugar level checks every month. If sugar levels are high after that then consulting a local diabetologist you start medication.

The diet and exercise regulations you need to follow:
* Avoid single high concentrated meals.
* Small frequent meals more times in a day.
* Food high in fibre content like vegetables, whole pulses, fruits, etc.
Do not consume food after 6:00 pm.
Brisk walking for 30 minutes daily is a must.

Hope this guides you. For any other queries you can write to me. I will be happy to help you. Thank you.
