Given that my fasting blood sugar is 113, my blood sugar two hours after eating is 145, and my three-month average blood sugar (HbA1c) is 5.7%, do I need to start taking medication for my blood sugar, and what steps should I take to manage these levels while currently taking Telvas AM 40 for slightly high blood pressure?

Your HbA1c of 5.7% and blood sugar levels indicate you are in the prediabetes range. The good news is that you likely do not need immediate blood sugar medication. These levels can often be managed effectively with lifestyle changes, such as a balanced, low-carb diet and regular physical activity. Your blood pressure medication, Telvas AM 40 (telmisartan/amlodipine), is safe to continue and may even support your metabolic health. I recommend focusing on consistent daily exercise and healthy eating, and scheduling a follow-up with your doctor in three to six months to recheck your levels.
