Do i need to take sugar medicine still?
Age : 30, Wt : 97, Ht : 166 cm | Since past few months my fasting sugar was high (138) and PP sugar was impaired (150) so doctors suggested to start medicine. But before starting medication, since last week i made lifestyle modifications like including exercise and changing to low calorie diet and early dinners. Now my blood sugar is in control without starting any medicine. Fasting (100) and PP (110). If i can maintain normal reading by lifestyle modifications do i need any medicines?
