Noted fasting slightly high.... Check once HbA1c, and check blood sugars other time of the day like 2 hour after lunch, before lunch,  defore dinner and 2 hours after dinner ... If all within 180, nothing to worry... just with diet and exercise.. can continue.. If more than that may need medication support with life style changes needed
