Thanx for using hcm
sir you have not mentioned about your sugar readings.
Fasting should be 70- 110 mg/dl as normal and After food (after 2 hours ) should be less than 140 mg /dl.
Any reading higher than this is considered impaired or high, where you need to focus on controlling your diet and need physical activity.If its v high then you have to start medicines.kindly relate and check your readings with this .
