Dear sandy I can understand your concern.
i am very sorry about your condition
in my opinion the third test you have done might be Hba1c this is also called as average blood sugar estimation.
the Hba1c mor than 6.5% is considered as diabetes
I suggest you to go for life style changes like diet and exersise
try to maintain BMI at 24.5
and review the test after 3 months
in some cases based on severity of blood sugar it's advisable to start medicatin also
kindly discuss with your treating doc
