Your blood sugar levels are elevated but highly manageable; there is no need to panic. For medications, first-line generic options like metformin are commonly prescribed, but you must consult your doctor to determine the right drug and dosage for you. Regarding your diet, focus on a low-glycemic, fibre-rich meal plan. Fill your plate with non-starchy vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, while strictly avoiding refined sugars, processed carbs, and sweet beverages. Regular physical activity and portion control will also significantly help. Please consult your physician soon for a personalised treatment plan and an HbA1c test to safely bring your levels back to target.
