Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your fasting sugar is mildly elevated. You should repeat your fasting as well as postprandial blood sugar , cholesterol levels and also do tests like HbA1c to find out your glycaemic status for last 3 months. If it is high then taking low dose metformin and doing life style modification will be better.
Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
