Am I Diabetic Based On This Result?

I generally test for blood sugar every year . Fasting results vary from 90 to 108. This time I have done fasting as well as PP. Fasting(12 hrs +) result show 120 and same day PP (after 2hrs of meal ) results shows 87. Is it correct result, whether I am diabetic ?? How should I confirm.

Hi. Your PP seems to be ok but your fasting levels are indicative of prediabetes...a stage before onset of diabetes. Please get a repeat fasting done, as anyways no one puts a diagnosis on one reading only. Get the repeat results analysed by a doctor. Of course you can also do a HBa1C, but fasting sugar and PP are very important
