Ur reports are marginal. As of now no need to start on treatment. First maintain ur diet consult dietitian for detailed diet chart. Monitor sugars regularly 4 times a day with glucometer. So sugars should be fasting < 95 after food 1 hr 140, 2 hrs after food 120. So if it’s maintaining in above range nothing to worry. If high need to start treatment.
