Dear lybrate-user this a condition of hyperglycemia encountered for the first time by you. Before declaring it Diabetes we have to do a test i.e. HbA1c Test. There is always a solution. You have to take some oral hypoglycemic drug and look after your diet and maintain a healthy lifestyle. And one more thing it is not due to your fathership of two angles.

PP Levels upto 140 are normal and beyond that it is taken as Diabetic. Your numbers indicate that you are in the Diabetic zone now. You should take these steps. #1. Get a complete body check done to rule out any other issues. #2. Also get HbA1c test done #3. Take all the reports to a physician or a diabetologist and start taking medicines #4. Consult a dietician and start following proper diabetic diet #5. Start off with daily physical activity for 45-60 mins. It is possible to reduce sugar levels with proper care. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to severe damage to various parts/organs of body. Please take the required steps immediately.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. PP blood glucose more than 200 mg is diagnostic of diabetes. So you have confirmed diabetes. Which means treatment needs to be initiated straight away. You will have to test your fasting, as well as HbA1c%, for proper initiation of the treatment. Along with drugs that the doctor may prescribe you will also have to follow a strict diet and a regular exercise program to keep blood glucose in check. If you are interested then I can help in initiating the treatment, provided you come in a private conversation with following details: Fasting, PP blood glucose levels, HbA1c%, Lipid profile, BP readings, present dietary pattern and extent of daily exercise. Or else consult a local doctor and start treatment immediately. Also get your eyes examined to rule out any involvement of retina. If you control the blood glucose levels effectively, then you can live an absolutely normal life like every one else. So need not worry about it. But appropriate treatment is a must. Thanks.
