Hello. Welcome to HCM.
Your fasting levels are in the pre diabetic range which is a value range where you are at risk for diabetes. I would suggest you do a Hba1c and a 2hr 75 gm GTT test to confirm diabetes. You can treat based on the results with either lifestyle changes alone if its pre diabetes and with medications and lifestyle if its diabetes.
wishing you good health
Warm regards
Dr Praveen
