It sounds like you may have progressed from pre-diabetes (borderline) to Type 2 diabetes, which is the most common form at your age. This progression can happen gradually, and the good news is it is very manageable with the right medication, diet, and lifestyle changes. Since you say you are otherwise fit and fine, starting treatment early gives you a good chance to keep blood sugar well controlled and prevent complications.

Please consult a physician offline, as medicine depends on sugar status, presence or absence of other comorbidity.
