You have done a wise thing by getting yourself tested at an early stage.Diabetes runs in families but that does not mean you have to suffer because of it.You can lead a perfectly normal life by making certain fundamental changes in your life style,because diabetes is also known as a lifestyle disorder.First and foremost,you have to equip yourself with the latest knowledge about diabetes.This is so because however much doctors,dieticians and your family may help you,at the end of the day it is you that will have to manage your diabetes.You have to watch your weight,your diet,your physical activity and whether any of your habits are irregular leading to stress.Reduce your weight somewhat without affecting your health.Whenever you eat food please be conscious about how the food may spike your sugar levels.If you think your activity level is not adequate,do something about it.Start playing a game like volleyball,shuttle etc or simply walk purposefully for about 40 minutes daily.Late nights,alcohol,soft drinks etc do not at all help you in managing your diabetes.Eat as little processed food as possible.At the end each diabetic is unique by himself and you have to develop your own unique methods to manage your diabetes.

During initial stages, you can control diabetes mellitus type 2 by low carbohydrate diet and aerobic exercise.

Fasting blood sugar should be less than 100 mg/dL and post-prandial blood sugar (2 hours after taking food) should be less than 140 mg/dL.

Metformin is prescribed usually to control Type 2 diabetes.

Consult your doctor.
