I am 42years old male ,my sugar level is in fasting 112.is it normal or need to take medicine.

Ans: It is a bit on the higher side with normal being 100. It would be a good idea to either check the HBA1C to be a bit more certain, else just try and reduce your carbs as well as over all calorie intake to reduce the fasting sugars. This is of course assuming you are a little overweight. If not, you should see a physician and get some more specific advice.

Health

My fasting sugar is 105 and hb1ac is 6.40 I weigh 94 kg n I'm 48 yrs old

Ans: An HbA1c of 6.4 is indicative of pre-diabetes. To control spikes of blood sugar levels lifestyle modifications are necessary. Consume a balanced diet that includes complex carbohydrates and high-fiber foods like whole grains, oats, dahlia, fruits, and vegetable. Focus on foods with a low glycemic index which will prevent rapid spikes and crashes in blood sugar levels. Avoid sugary foods and processed simple carbohydrates (such as white bread or white pasta), chocolates, fast foods, etc., especially on an empty stomach. Include good quality protein foods in every meal. Engage in regular physical activity, as exercise can help regulate blood sugar levels.
