Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr. XXXXXXX
Thank you very much for posting your query on Ask A Doctor service.
If Postprandial sugar is 122, then you are essentially normal, and it is not considered as even borderline.
That said, it is always good to limit added sugar in beverages and limit intake of rice and potatoes.
You must start exercising regularly from now if you are not doing it already.
Other than that there is nothing much to be done at this time.
You need to get your HbA1C level checked once, and then repeat it once a year along with sugar levels.
I hope that answers your query.
Best regards
