Hi adelland, where are you based? I'm guessing not UK as the levels you have quoted are mg/dl as opposed to the mmol/l we use in the UK. Criteria for a diagnosis of diabetes may be different where you are, but here an OGTT with a reading of 11.1 mmol/l or greater at two hours would confirm you as diabetic - this would be 200 mg/dl and you were 163 mg/dl so they have said that you have impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). I'm guessing that the medication you are given is metformin which should help you control your blood sugar levels better. I would suggest that you look at the GL Diet and start eating according to the principles and this should help 🙂

From what you have said it sounds like you may be in danger of developing Type 2 diabetes.
