Detailed Answer:
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
I am sorry to say that Your husband FBS and PPBS levels are high and he will have to start treatment for Diabetes .
No need to worry because diabetes is completely controllable disease.
Your husband should strictly follow a doctor and regularly take prescribed medicine.
Your doctor may advice second blood test HB1AC or start medicine .
This HB1AC give a idea of last 3 month blood sugar level.
I would suggest my patient to follow these steps-
