Mr. Lybrate-user, after food blood sugar level of 188 mg, means" impaired glucose tolerance" (igt), which is called as pre diabetic state. This mean any time soon you may develop diabetes. At this stage usually no drug treatment is recommended. However, I suggest that you should get a complete diabetes profile done. That is get fasting, pp sugar and hba1c% tested. That will give a clearer picture then we will be able to decide whether there is any need for treatment. T2 diabetes even though a hereditary disease, it is also a preventable condition, provided one controls weight (bmi <23 kg/m2), (your bmi is 27.77kg/m2), takes balnced restricted diet, avoids too much sweets, deep fried foods, junk foods, sweetened aerated drinks, fructose corn syrup containing foods and refrains from smoking and alcohol. Therefore, now start exercising daily for 1 hour and try to reduce your weight to about 71 kgs. (bmi 23kg/m2).
