The fasting is116 and PP is 120. Am I a diabetic ? What precautions should I take so that i do not have to resort to medicines. Thanks
You have got pre-diabetes (Impaired fasting glucose). Metformin treatment of people at risk for type 2 diabetes may decrease their chances of developing the disease, although intensive physical exercise and dieting work significantly better for this purpose.
Simple lifestyle measures have been shown to be effective in preventing or delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes. To help prevent type 2 diabetes and its complications, people should:--
* achieve and maintain healthy body weight;
* be physically active – at least 30 minutes of regular, moderate-intensity activity on most days. More activity is required for weight control;
* eat a healthy diet of between three and five servings of fruit and vegetables a day and reduce sugar and saturated fats intake;
* avoid tobacco use – smoking increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
