Joyjoyjo May I ask what is your current Hba1c and what was your Hba1c then???

What about other parameters like cholesterol and BP??

Welcome to the group, Joyjoyjo. You have managed your blood sugar quite well-congratulations. Many with pre-diabetic conditions like yours never become diabetic or they can delay the onset of diabetes significantly through dietary and life style changes. I do not see why you should consider medication when your condition is not getting any worse. As 'cure' mentioned HbA1c should be the marker for assessing your blood sugar condition in addition to fasting and ppbs. You should consider HbA1c monitoring very six month. You can talk to your Doctor about this.

Could you please tell if you have any restricted diet or just with walking you manage your blood sugar level.
