Medication

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

If fasting sugars are above 130 then its an indication to start antidiabetic medications like Metformin.

Though diet control by reducing carbohydrates intake is necessary, you will also need medications.

There are chances where you may be taken off the medication once the sugar levels are within desired range.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
