my sugar levels are 128 Fasting and 171 pp after 2 hr is it ok
It is high but not alarming.Fasting should be less than 110,preferably near 100.Post prondial level should be less than.Better you undergo a test called HbA1c which gives you the average level for the past 3 months.You are safe if your level is less than 7, but you should aim for 6.Your present condition may not need immediate medication, provided you improve your diet control,vigorous exercise like brisk walking or jogging for at least 40 to 60 minutes daily and leading a stress free life style with yoga,breathing exercises or meditation.You can certainly reduce the sugar levels to safe limits and postpone medication.
Correct & an informed response.
Desirable blood sugar level:--
Fasting blood sugar: <100 mg/dL.
Post-prandial blood sugar (2 hours after taking food): < 140 mg/dL.
You reduce your blood sugar level by diet, exercise and anti-diabetic medication.
Undergo HbA1c test. HbA1c is a lab test that shows the average level of blood sugar (glucose) over the previous 3 months. It shows how well you are controlling your diabetes.
An HbA1c of 5.6% or less is normal.
The following are the results when the HbA1c is being used to diagnose diabetes:--
* Normal: Less than 5.7%
* Pre-diabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
* Diabetes: 6.5% or higher
If you have diabetes, you and your doctor or nurse will discuss the correct range for you. For many people the goal is to keep your level at or below 6.5 - 7%.

Dear Gangadharan Nair Ji, I was diagnosed with sugar 4 months back , my level was fasting 146 and PP 246. HBA1C was 7.8, urine sugar was 1%.then i controlled my diet and took fenugreek seeds, paneer ke phool, After 3 months i checked HBA1c was 6.1 . My fasting came 79 and PP was 159 and there was no sugar in urine.

Now sometimes i check my sugar at home.. it shows fasting between 98-105 and PP 120-226.. when i eat less.. sugar is OK and when i eat more sugar comes high.
