What Causes High Blood Glucose Levels And Hot Flashes While Treating Depression?

it seems that you already have diabetes!
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
although a self glucose measurement is not enough to establish the diagnosis, two measurements equal or above 126 mg/dL (fasting glucose) mean diabetes. Since you've had several high measurements, you probably have diabetes right now. The increased nightly urination could be related to hyperglycemia although I could not confirm it without urine (or blood testing). If your morning urine contains glucose then it's very likely that you have very high blood glucose during the night.
In order to find out for sure you should do the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). This test consists of two measurements of blood glucose. The 1st one is the fasting glucose. The 2nd follows consumption of 75 grams of glucose. The measurement has to be taken 2 hours after ingesting the glucose drink. A glucosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) would be very helpful to determine the need for treatment.
In the meantime trying to loose some weight (if you're overweigth) and adopting a healthy diet would help to reduce your chances of having diabetes and also achieve a better control if you're diabetic after all. Physical activity helps a lot. Consult your cardiologist before engaging into any activity more strenuous than walking.
I hope you find my comments helpful!
