Fasting glucose 180 mg per dL and PP 235 mg per dL fall in the diabetes range. See your doctor to start a proper diet and exercise plan. Anti diabetic tablets may also be needed. An HbA1c test will show your 3 month sugar average. Regular monitoring of sugar levels at home using a glucometer is advised to track progress and adjust treatment.
