Hi thanks for asking question.
I am appreciating your concern.
Your father have impaired glucose tolerance just now .There is no need for drug right now. Life style modifications has to be continued.Regular monitoring needed for sugar estimation.
Avoid stress and stop smoking if he had habit of it.
Take fruits with low glycemic index like apple,orange,kiwi, strawberry etc.
Take proper sleep.
If he is overweight control the weight.
Basil leaves juice 1 to 2 tablespoon useful.
Indian goose berry that is amla juice helpful in effective functioning of pancreas.
Regularly advise her for doing 30 minute flooring exercise like running , walking , cycling etc.
