HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Diabetes can be diagnosed based on fasting( 8 hour fast), 2 hour post meal and HbA1c.
If the fasting is above 126, then the person may be considered a diabetic. If your reading is a fasting reading then it is in the diabetic range.
You may consider having it rechecked to confirm this diagnosis.
If you are diabetic, it can be controlled with diet, exercise and medication. There are a number of different medications available.
I hope this helps
