Answer
AM I DIABETIC? Yes, you are prediabetic but soon will be diabetic if you are unable to decrease your insulin resistance. OK?

whether I should take medicines particularly-metformin? you could but I would try some more holistic treatments first if OK with your doctors, such as 1/4 tsp cinnamon in bowl of hot oatmeal for breakfast daily and a gluten free diet for life. OK?

500mg metformin enough? That would work for a short time unless your doctor approves and you do the above suggestion.

some docters suggest diet control and excercise..but it is not easy and possible regularly which your intelllegent experienced can understand..pl guide
Yes, I do understand but all my diabetics rue that they put off until it was no longer reversible. OK?
