As per the lab results you are in the first phase of diabetes. But if you try to modify your food style and try to keep regular exercise then you can come out of this. Stop completely drinking habit. Try to consult a diabetes expert.

You are not diabetic but you are caught in prediabetes. Life style modification is recommended. Some people prescribe metformin in prediabetes if patient does not do life style modification. Although not recommended but not wrong.
