Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
You are being investigated for Diabetes and your blood sugar level 7.2 mmol/l, but it is not clear this is fasting level or random blood sugar level.
As you are waiting your test result Fasting blood sugar, post prandial blood sugar level diagnosis depends on result of your test.fasting plasma glucose of 5 to 7.2 mmol/L and post-meal glucose level of less than 10 mmol/L.
In the meantime take care of diet just avoiding simple sugar and taking adequate rest.
Your breathlessness may be related to any kind of heart problem, lungs problem and Anemia etc.
Further treatment depends on result of your investigations, the itching in area of private parts possibilities of Urinary tract infection and /or fungal infection.
Please take care.
Good Luck.
