Hi,

I can understand your concerns.

You are overweight.

Was the glucose test done after fasting or after meal ?

If its a random blood glucose test then the value is on the higher side and chances of you being diagnosed as diabetic are high.

Nevertheless i will recommend you to undergo the glucose tolerance test as its more accurate and will confirm the findings.

Regards
