Hello,

Fasting blood sugar more than 126 mg / dl and PPBS more than 200 mg / dl is diagnostic of diabetes.
So you need to seek medical help to control your diabetes.
For your age the target FBS should be maintained below 110 mg / dl and PPBS below 160 mg / dl.
In this situation I would advice my patient to take insulin for control of blood sugar.
Diet should mainly consist of whole grains, vegetables, greens and fruits.
Light exercise like walking for 20 to 45 mind depending upon your cardiac status.
I find this answer helpful
