There may be a problem with hyperglycemia, but the HbA1C should be used to first screen for Diabetes in non pregnant individuals. Watch for signs of excessive thirst and urination, fatigue and shakiness. Avoid sugary beverages and sweets, and incorporate nuts and whole grains into your diet. Please follow up with your PCP.

That is called glucose intolerance. Fasting blood sugar alone may miss the diagnosis of glucose intolerance (borderline diabetic mellitus) and early phase of diabetes mellitus.

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, any blood glucose level above 200 warrant evaluation by a doctor as it is diagnostic of diabetes. Visit this site for info: https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/basics/getting-tested.html
