Confused about diabetes status

2025-08-16 21:04:41
I'm 32 M working with a PSB, I have high blood pressure for quite some time now and have been taking Telmisartan 80 mg with amolidipine and propranolol 20 mg in evening, My doctor reduced the medicine and made me switch to 40 mg telmisartan with clindipine recently nearly 15 days ago After this good news I ran an diabetes test  a week ago and it returned value as HbA1c 5.2 and FBS 103, While I've been on diet for long, time I have buttermilk and some fruits in morning from before running the test from last 5 month 2 chapati with daal and sabzi in lunch, And some salad for dinner, Still my FBS is 103, I'm confused am I prediabetic or normal, And what should I do more to make it better, I walk everyday, I feel I already do enough, What is causing this spike is a concern for me, Please guide.

We will need other information like weight height. How much gms of carbs fibres proteins or fats you are taking. Also jus walking is not enough, u need to incorporate some strength exercises also.

Since your HbA1c is 5.2% and a FBS of 103 is not concerning. Just follow your brilliant lifestyle and diet. FBS can be sometimes elevated due to certain causes, none of them makes you a Pre Diabetic in this case.
