If Your blood sugar levels are recently high it will be reflected in fasting PPBS and HbA1c is a last 3 months average.
So you may be in prediabetic range in last 3 months but currently you are in diabetic range.
You should treat your current high sugar levels

All three parameters are important. HbA1c will tell u the average blood sugar of 3 months, where as FBS and PP are the recent blood sugar levels.
In ur case, ur FBS and PP shows diabetic means u have diabetes which u developed recently.

All 3 are needed. HbA1C is average of last 3 months which might be normal if u recently developed diabetes and that can be picked up by fasting and PP
