Early diabetes: Your mom is i guess in late 40 s her fasting is 158 at highest and random is 180 mg/dl what is her hgaic my guess is below 7 there is evidence to suggest keeping her sugars will prevent further worsening also kidney, eye damage and maybe neuropathy coronary artery disease while not sure maybe postponed control could be by exercise and diet to maintain ideal body weight metformin could be used.
