Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concern.
From the above details you have given there is a chance for having diabetes. So once have Fasting and Postprandial blood sugar levels checked. if they show higher values, then go for HB1Ac(glycosilated heamoglobin) which shows blood sugar levels over 3 months. Then we can get into diagnosis. Also have a check for Blood Pressure.
Hope this helps. Thank you.
