See specialist: Your test above points to diabetes but you need two positive tests to make the diagnosis. Get a fasting bs or hba1c measurements, or both. If they are in the diabetes range as well, then you have diabetes. 2 hr after an ogtt, your level should be less than 140 . Yours was 211 which is in the diabetes range.
