See below: If fasting for >8 hours. Fasting sugar 100-125 is pre-diabetes and 2-hrs after eating 140-199 is prediabetes. Fasting -126 and higher; and 2 hours after eating, 200 and greater, is diabetes can get home blood glucose testing equipment over the counter in pharmacies so you have pre-diabetes.

Upper limits normal: Your bs is on the upper limits of normal. However if you obese you may already have some Insulin resistance. Eat regular healthy small means, avoid sweets, sodas and high glycemic index carbonhydrates and excercise 4times a week.
