PP sugar level lower than fasting
I have measured couple of time, my fasting sugar comes around 122-130 and PP is in between 102-110. Two years before during annual check up first time I found my PP was 180 and fasting 146. I reduced my weight from 83 to 71 and have completely stopped direct sugar intake, I moved from rice to Millet, taking more vegitables and Dal in my diet to control sugar level. My recent HBA1C reported is 5.9. In last two years my HBA1C was always below 6.3.
I am little concerned, why my PP is lower than fasting. Do I need to be on medication? I walk 4 km 5 days in a week. I am not taking any medicine. Pl suggest.

Your fasting, PP sugars and HbA1C is within the acceptable range, going along with prediabetes. At this stage, medications are not necessary. Continue with diabetic diet and exercise
