Mr. lybrate-user, Diabetes mellitus is a disease occurring due to either deficiency of insulin or resistance to its action or both. So only way to treat is to make more insulin available, reduce resistance to its action or just give insulin daily to control blood glucose. Diabetes can only be controlled, there is no cure. Treatment has to be for lifetime. Fasting 160 mg is high. Thanks.
