Diabetologist 's  Response
Dear sir i can understand your concern.
in my opinion basing on your symptoms and blood sugar reading its mandatory to have thorough check up with parameters like
1.fasting blood sugar
2.Hba1c%
3.post prandial blood sugar
Any patient visiting to my clinic with similar complaints its worth ruling out Diabetes.
The blood sugar 295 is slightly high and need to be evaluated with proper investigation
Regards
