Hello.If you are diagnosed pre diabetic, it implies that you are prone to impaired glucose tolerence. this condition can easily be brought under control by diet restrictions and exercise.Total cholesterol should ideally be less than 200. So your levels are quite ok., and your BP is just fine.I would advise you to do fasting blood sugar and post prandial sugars every 2 months to assess glycemic control.

what do you mean by fasting blood sugar and post prandialevery 2 months and what is the reason for that
and what is assess glycemic control
Fasting blood suger is a blood test done in empty stomach in the morning , post prandial is a blood sugar test done 2 hrs after meals.These tests determine whether your sugar levels are within limits or not. If you are prone to diabetis , you should get yourself tested every few months, so that, the physician can take action early , should your sugar levels cross limits.
how would one know if they are prone for diabetes and is it possible after being dignose with pre-diabetes can your blood sugar ever return to normal that you are not so ful of fear
If you have a first degree relative(parents /siblings) who is diabetic, then you are prone to get it.even, otherwise, if you have an unhealthy lifestyle-like physical inactivity and routinely consuming high calories, you are prone to get it one day.As I mentioned earlier, a pre diabetic can get back to a normal sugar status with balanced diet and exercise.
my last question is no one in my family have it so are you ever safe from devoloping diabetic and can pre-diabetes ever be cure
Pre diabetic can always be cured., as I had mentioned earlier.You do not have a genetic predisposition to diabetes as such.
