HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The goal for fasting blood sugars is 70 to 130 and for 2 hour post meals ,less than 180.
Your 2 hour post meal is just within range but your fasting readings are too high.
It is likely that the use of the sweets that you mentioned may have contributed to this if your readings were previously in control.
You may want to alter your diet and increase your activity level to see if the readings improve.
If there is no improvement then you may need to see your doctor, your medication may need adjustment.
I hope this helps
