Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.

Sir, The fasting blood sugar level of 112mg/dl. comes under pre diabetes.
In diabetes, and pre diabetes initially we manage by proper diet and exercise as in your case. we continue this until they are under control.

If this stage passes and sugar levels are not under control, then medication is required. As of now you come under pre-diabetic. Good diet and exercise could help in controlling blood sugar levels.


Hope this guides you. For any other query you can write to us. We will be happy to answer you. Wish you good health.
Thank you.
