Hi,
Hope you are doing well.
Ideally you do not need medicines for pre diabetes. You should explore the idea of a calorie restricted diet and regular for control and possible reversal.
However, if you have been diagnosed with diabetes and this is a state of good control- good job.
Do consult if you have any queries.
