Hi Doctor. Today I did a fasting blood sugar test, and my blood sugar came as 110. The normal range is 60 to 110. Should I be worried? Please advise. Thanks.

Hello doctor, my father recently had a sugar test. His fasting sugar level was 132 and 2 hour post sugar level was 95. Does he need to start medication? His blood picture is attached below.
