My RBS in the blood report is 182. Do I have diabetes? Can you explain this and tell me if it can be reduced?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My creatinine is 1.4, my blood sugar is increased, and my blood pressure is 147 by 90. My urine report is normal. Please tell me if my kidneys are normal or not?

Sir my father tested his blood on 2 April at morning 11:00 am after having breakfast and the blood report claims to 140. I am so worried and I do not want my father to fall ill so please do something.
