Brief Answer:
Kindly do HbA1c and postprandial sugar level. See details.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I can understand your concern. As your fasting sugar level is 125 which is on higher side, it can be called as impaired glucose tolerance. As your father and grandfather are diabetic, so you have high risk of developing diabetes. What is your HbA1c value and postprandial sugar levels? Kindly do if not done earlier. Let me know whether do you have frequency of micturation, thirst, dry mouth? Kindly follow up with detailed history.
Treatment plan mainly depends upon HbA1c value and blood sugar levels i. e. Regarding oral antidiabetic medication. Along with that do regular exercises daily at least 30 to 40 minutes. Plan your diet as per diet chart after consultation with dietician. Avoid high calorie diet. Avoid heavy meal. I think this will clarify your concern.
