Your symptoms and report suggest early signs of prediabetes. It is best to avoid sweets, sugary drinks, and refined carbs. Focus on high fiber, low glycemic foods. Moderate exercise and weight control help prevent diabetes. Please consult an endocrinologist or diabetologist.

I recently got my blood sugar test done with fasting and my report showed 99 mg/dl. I performed the same test 8 months ago and it was 84. I am also currently undergoing homeopathy treatment. Please advise if my report is normal. I do not want it to reach 100 mg/dl. How can I lower it? I am worried.
