Your blood sugar does seem to be high. You should go to your family doctor and let him know about these readings. He can do a complete blood work up on you to see if your sugar is indicative of diabetes. Also, he can run an A1C to determine what your blood sugar has been doing for several weeks. It will give he or she a better idea of the levels your blood sugar is at.

Yes, you have some type of diabetes. Your sugar should never be over 140 at the highest. Depending on your age I am guessing that you are a type 2 diabetic. Often time this is controlled with diet and exercise. To make sure your levels remain constant it is good to eat proteins with Complex carbs.
Everyone blood sugar is affected by the dawn phenomenon , the difference is that non-diabetics produce insulin needed to curb high sugars.
Servings are important. Just looking at these blood sugars I think it could be easily controlled by diet and exercise. Let your doctor know because if you need to go on meds you want to do so before your sight or any other internal organ is damaged.

I am a type 2 diabetic. My doctor advised me that you should not take your sugar untill about 1 and half to 2 hours after you eat. Otherwise the testing is not acurate. Your body has to have time to disgest the food. You should eat at the same time every day and take you sugar at the same times every day. And if you still concerned if you are diabetic the doctor would be able to tell you better than anyone else can. He can give you a three glucose test. It is more acurate than what you are doing now.

your fasting sugar is the best indicator if your diabetic or not. The level is 126 or above for a fasting so you are right there.
You might want to cut down your intake of sugar and carbs and exercise more to try and get those numbers down. You also might want to talk to your local hospital and see when the next diabetic nutrition class is and try to go to it. They have alot of good info and can answer your questions.

you appear to be what is currently termed "pre-diabetic". lifestyle changes as in dietary corrections and increased exercise as tolerable can certainly help improve your prognosis. my advice, as an endocrinology practitioner, is to see a dietitian and/or diabetes educator, even if you have to pay for it yourself (insurance might pay) because your health is at stake. weight loss if overweight. (uncontrolled sugars can lead to weight loss so if you've lost weight recently without much effort - that is not a good sign.) fasting blood sugars are important but after-meal sugars can also indicate problems. visit www. diabetes.org (amer diab assoc) and www.ndei.org (USgov) for info. lastly. you can do alot to help your situation. if genetically predisposed - probably - all your best efforts may only delay the inevitable. but, remember, you are worth the effort and your loved ones will appreciate your improved health future so.... just do it!

Tht is a diagnosis only your doctor should make for you! Ask him to do an A1C and that will give you the answer you need!
