Thanks for using healthcaremagic.I understand your query
Brief answer: Yes,you may be at risk of developing pre-diabetes or diabetes if not properly managed.
Detailed answer:Your postprandial insulin level after 2 hrs is high(Normal range 30-40microU/ml) which suggest,you could have got insulin resistance which can transform ultimately into pre-diabetic state and diabetes in future if not managed properly with lifestyle modifications(like increased physical activity,smoking cessation,weight management etc) and dietary restrictions(like low intake of saturated fats and simple sugars etc).I would advise you to get observed closely by your local doctor(preferably diabetologist).Hope i have answered your query.If any other questions,happy to answer you.Take care.
