THank you for the question.
first of all I would like to say that the values of 192 and 162 are random sugars , any random sugars
as u are physically active , it shouldn’t bother u much
but taking into ur age and dyslipidemia ( increased cholesterol) would suggest u to get a fasting and post prandial ( one and half hr after breakfast) sugars checked
