Advice please

I would go to the Drs now to get a true record of your status now. Then start taking action accordingly. That’s how I’d do it anyway. If you are diagnosed diabetic you’ll get all the screening etc.

I agree with @Rachox

There is no point delaying matters. If you have diabetes, then you have diabetes and you (and your doctor) need to know. You will be referred for the various diabetes screening stuff (eyes and feet) and will be monitored regularly with full blood and health checks and a nurse review. Changing your diet for 3 months won't cure it. All it will do is hopefully keep your blood glucose levels down to non-diabetic levels, but the diabetes will still be there, waiting to hit you in the face the second you eat too many carbs.

By the way, although 11 is the diagnostic level following an OGTT, that is an unreal situation after 75g of pure glucose. You do not want to be anywhere near as high as that after a normal meal. Under 7.8 is recommended.
