Hi, gone through your query and understood your concerns.
Sir, Fasting blood sugar levels less than 110mg/dl are normal range. So you are not a prediabetic which will be 110-126mg/dl. So you need not worry. You value of 102mg./dl is normal.
As Fathers side has diabetes, you may be at a minor risk. but if your father has diabetes, you are at risk in future. Any way coming to diet and exercise are good for any one. You can opt for it.
Hope this guides you. Thank you.
Wishing you good health
