He can be diabetic too. But the fasting and post meals sugar values reflect the previous days diet intake. So it is advised to do hba1c test to get a true diagnosis of diabetes. Also the glucometer that we use in home gives capillary blood values, which are usually a little high. So do a complete sugar profile in lab where they collect venous blood.
