Your fasting sugars levels are on the higher side of normal , however it alone is not sufficient to diagnose prediabetes/ diabetes or start medicine.It gives only snap shot of your sugars.
Next Steps
Obtain Hba1c which is gold standard to diagnose diabetes and shows glucose control over 3 months. Consult online with reports to discuss whether you need medications
