Diabetes can be controlled if one follows a good diet. Lose weight if need to, stay away too many carb.. If your fasting blood sugar is 125 I hear that's start of pre-diabetes. At this stage the doctors may put you on a medication such as Metformin, Atos, etc.. If you can get it under control with just pills and diet than you're doing good. Iif t can't than you may need insulin injections such as Lantus, Humalog .
