Diabetes? Other(s)?: Can't help much with only this information. Elevated glucose suggests diabetes. Otherwise, such test results could indicate dozens of problems, perhaps no single illness. The likely explations will depend on symptoms, physical exam, and probably X-rays or any number of other tests. Discuss with your doctor.

Need more info: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, it would have helped to have the actual values rather than high/low. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
