fasting sugar level - #18738

I recently went for a routine check-up, and my doctor recommended a fasting sugar level test. I wasn’t really expecting any issues, but when the results came back, my fasting sugar level was slightly high at 110 mg/dL. The doctor said it’s not diabetes yet, but it’s in the prediabetic range, and I should start watching my diet. This has really got me worried because I don’t eat a lot of sweets or desserts, so I don’t understand why my fasting sugar level is high. I do eat a lot of rice, bread, and potatoes—could that be the reason? Also, I sometimes drink tea with sugar in the morning before my tests. Could that have affected my results? Another thing that confuses me is that I don’t have any symptoms. I always thought that high fasting sugar level would cause fatigue, excessive thirst, or frequent urination, but I don’t have any of those issues. Does this mean my blood sugar is still under control, or is it possible for people to have high fasting sugar level without symptoms? I started looking into Ayurveda because I really don’t want to end up taking medication. Does Ayurveda have ways to naturally lower fasting sugar level and prevent diabetes? Are there specific herbs or foods that can help keep my blood sugar stable? I’ve heard that fenugreek, bitter gourd, and cinnamon are good for blood sugar—should I be including them in my diet? I also want to know if stress affects fasting sugar level. Lately, I’ve been under a lot of pressure at work, and I barely get 6 hours of sleep most nights. Could my lack of sleep and stress be raising my fasting sugar level? If so, what’s the best Ayurvedic approach to managing stress while also keeping blood sugar in check? Another thing I’m confused about is whether fasting itself is good or bad for people with slightly high fasting sugar level. I sometimes skip breakfast when I’m busy—does that help regulate blood sugar, or does it make things worse? Should I be eating at regular intervals to avoid blood sugar spikes? I really want to manage this naturally before it turns into something more serious. If Ayurveda offers a way to lower fasting sugar level and maintain long-term blood sugar balance, I’d love to try it. What are the best Ayurvedic herbs, foods, and lifestyle changes I should start following to bring my blood sugar back to normal? Also, how often should I check my fasting sugar level? I don’t want to stress about it every day, but I also don’t want to ignore it. What’s the best way to track progress and make sure my numbers stay in the normal range? Would appreciate any Ayurvedic guidance because I really don’t want this to get worse. If there’s a natural way to keep my fasting sugar level under control, I’d love to learn about it!
