General & Family Physician, Dr. K.S Sanju's Response
Since when you have this? May i know your age and gender? Do you have any exercise or diet plan that you are following now?
I feel you might be probably having pre -diabetes or impaired fasting glucose(IFG).Fasting glucose levels of 100 to 125 mg/dL are above normal but not high enough to be called diabetes. This condition is called pre-diabetes or IFG. People whose test results indicate they have pre-diabetes should have their blood glucose levels checked again in 1 to 2 years.Causes of insulin resistance and pre-diabetes include genetic factors, excess weight, and lack of physical activity.The first therapy should always be an intensive lifestyle modification program because weight loss and physical activity are much more effective than any medication at reducing diabetes risk. They are much more likely to develop diabetes than people with normal blood glucose levels.The American Diabetes Association recommends that metformin is the only drug that should be considered for use in diabetes prevention.Being physically active, making wise food choices, and reaching and maintaining a healthy weight can help prevent or reverse insulin resistance and pre-diabetes.So try these and get a physician help too.
this can be controlled by life style modification and diet control.by reducing weight regular exercise.give a fair trail and if not control then go for metformin
