Hi,
greetings from HCM.

Based on your blood report, you are supposed to start medications. you must start with metformin 500 mg, two times a day just before breakfast and dinner.
Get a prescription for above drugs from a physician.
With lifestyle changes, which includes diet and exercise. Take more of green leafy vegetables, fruits, avoid carbohydrates and take more of proteins . At least walk for an hour daily to reduce your weight.
Take more of millets Like Ragi and Jower.

Get your Hba1c and microalbuminuria done and meet your physician soon for prescription .

Brief Answer:
nothing to worry , you can still be pefectly healthy

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back,
Dear friend , greetings, yes I can understand your concern.

You still can lead a healthy life , please do not worry. Diabetes is as such not a disease , it can lead to many complications if you are not controlling sugar levels. But if you can adopt lifestyle changes and take medicine as per schedule and follow-up routinely, you still can lead a very healthy life. It happens might be due to family history or poor lifestyle.

Cheer up, good luck
