Brief Answer:
prediabetic stage. diet control and exercise needed

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Your values are showing that you are in prediabetic stage and not in diabetes.
It can still be controlled with proper diet and moderate exercise.
Control fat foods, oily foods and reduce sugar content in diet.
Do moderate exercises which should burn good calories and be consistent with it.
Repeat same fasting and ppbs after 1 month and see whether it helped or not.
If it doesn't then we will consider medications.
But anyways diabetic medications are safe. Nothing happen to kidney . dont worry.
I hope I have answered your query well.
If you have any questions kindly ask me back.
Thank you
