My sugar test showed fasting 105 and PP 145, and I am worried if these levels are high. Do I need to start any medicine for this, or can it be managed with diet and exercise?

A fasting sugar level of 105 and a post-meal sugar of 145 are a bit higher than normal, but they do not always mean you have severe diabetes. These numbers may point to borderline high sugar or prediabetes, where blood sugar is starting to rise but can often still be managed with changes in your daily habits. Things like stress, not getting enough exercise, unhealthy eating, poor sleep, family history, or being overweight can also raise your sugar levels. For many people, eating healthy, walking or exercising regularly, keeping weight in check, and cutting down on sugary or processed foods can help bring sugar levels closer to normal. It is also important to eat meals on time, add more fibre-rich foods, and stay active. Medicines are not always needed right away. Doctors usually decide on treatment after checking your sugar levels a few times, looking at your HbA1c, and considering your age, weight, and overall health. Please see a doctor for a proper check-up and follow-up tests. If you notice a lot of thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, tiredness, or blurred vision, it is important to get medical help.
