He is 41 years old, and today we got his HbA1c test result, which is 7.1 percent. Does this mean he is diabetic? We are really worried. Should he start medication immediately, or is it possible to control it with diet and lifestyle changes? Please advise.

Hello Doctor, I am 56 years old and have been taking Gemy M2 for diabetes for the past 5 years, which has kept my condition under control. Yesterday, my post lunch blood sugar was 300 mg/dL and fasting was 200 mg/dL. Can I take IME 9 along with my regular medication? Please advise.

I have just received my checkup report and it shows at risk prediabetes. Should I eat sweets or avoid them? I fasted for 16 hours before the checkup. I am experiencing frequent thirst and frequent urination. What should I eat and what should I avoid? Whom should I consult?
