What Do Frequent Urination And Severe Hair Loss Indicate?

In the past 6 months i have had significant hair thinning, weight loss of 75lbs without change in diet or exercise, frequent urination (12-15 times per day), fluctuations in energy level. I have a family history of diabetes and my mother passed from pancreatic cancer. i decide to be proactive and check my sugar (Walmart Reli-on machine) the average seems to be between 130-140 with the highest at 179 and the lowest at 93. Could i possibly be diabetic or pre-diabetic?

Please get blood sugar levels done on an overnight fasting sample and a strict 2 hour post prandial sample. Also get HbA1c report done. This will give a complete idea about whether you have diabetes or not as the symptoms described by you suggests that you are on the verge of developing diabetes.
