Hello,
Although DIMET 500 is a most important drug for starting the treatment for diabetes and doesn't affect the birth of child and fertility,you need to confirm your diabetic status by getting your blood sugar fasting and PP done.
Any fasting level above 126 and PP level of blood sugar above 200 is called as frank diabetes.
Levels of fasting sugar between 100 and 126 is called as impaired fasting glucose and PP levels between 140 and 200 is called as impaired glucose tolerance.
Both these stages are pre diabetic stage and require life style changes like regular exercises,dieting and reduction of weight.
Your weight is almost normal.
Thanks
