My current fbs reading is 127 is it too high?am i already diabetic?how to lower it?

Probably not: Is this a fasting blood sugar? Meaning, did you take it after having not eaten in 12 hours? If not, it doesn't mean anything - yet. In order to tell if you are diabetic or pre-diabetic, you have to check your sugar when fasting. If you are concerned, start exercising, eat a healthier diet and see your doctor for fasting blood work.
