Pre diabtes can be reversed or rather postponed for some time.For all practical purposes you have to treat yourself as a diabetic and take several remedial measures.Since you at an early stage,try reducing weight by about 3 to 4 kilos.You may find some improvement.Most important measure to keep diabetes at bay is to keep a watch on what you eat,how much you and when you eat.Give up processed sugar in all it's forms like added sugar in coffee/tea,cakes,sweets etc.Also reduce drastically or avoid carb rich foods like potato,beet etc.Prefer to eat smaller meals at shorter intervals to avoid sugar spikes.Next comes exercise.you can play games like shuttle,swimming,walking for about 40 minutes daily or any other form physical activity.Last but not the least,do not be worried about diabetes.Leading a stress free and disciplined lfe goes long way in fighting diabetes.And,I suggest you buy a glucometer to keep track of how well you are managing your diabetes.It is good that you aware of your condition at a very early stage.If you start early,it is easier to manage.

Take Hba1c test also.

Then decide after consulting your doctor about discontinuing the medicines.
