Hi lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. With fasting 130 mg & PP 200 mg, you need to begin treatment with some oral anti-diabetic drugs like metformin alone or in combination with either sulphonylurea or a gliptin. Plus take restricted diet that gives calories based on your ideal weight (65 kgs) plus have to do a regular exercise for at least 1 hour a day. As regards foods: 1)Avoid sweets, deep fried foods, junk foods, pastries, bakery items and foods made from maida. 2) No colas, and sweetened juices and fructose corn syrup containing foods, 3) Consume a good deal of green leafy vegetables, salads and fruits. 4) Always use whole grain flour for roti and chapati, 5) Refrain from alcohol and smoking. Ideally with treatment fasting should be < 100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. Thanks.
