Your fasting sugar and glucose 2 hrs after meals is on higher side. This gives a snap shot of sugars and it’s not adequate or accurate to diagnose prediabetes or diabetesHbA1C is gold standard to diagnose diabetes and it reflects 3 month average glucose control.
Next Steps
Check HbA1C fasting glucose and fasting insulin level in lab with post meal glucose in the lab ( 2 hrs post breakfast or lunch) and consult online to discuss management and test results
