Done Blood Test To Check Diabetes. Result Before And After Fasting Showed?

I do some blood check using the finger tip machine, usually it gives me numbers between 82 - 86, and it's randomly no fasting, but i always feel something wrong. So I went to my doctor and asked him to do a diabetes check . He said just choose any day from the week come to me fasting for 8 hours not more than 12 hours, and I will do the rest. I went to the hospital last week.

They took four samples of blood. as the following Two when I came to the hospital immediately. Then I drank a liquid - it was the sweetest liquid i have tasted - yak. They told me to come after an hour and they take the third sample, then told me to come after an hour and take the fourth sample.

The result was as following:
1- fasting before take the liquid : 5.67 mmol/l (102.06 mg/dl)
2- after a hour of that liquid 75ml: 6.8 mmol/l (122.4 mg/dl)
3- after two hours of that liquid 75ml: 5.5 mmol/l (99 mg/dl)
4- insulin fasting (while im fasting): 8

What does that mean ! the doctor said you are fine but you have to reduce your weight and food.

Well should i worried ?

thanks for answering I hope i don't write too much

Hello,
All your values are normal but your fasting blood sugar levels are suggestive of impaired fasting levels.Any fasting blood sugar level between 100 and 125 is suggestive of impaired fasting glucose ( IFG ) and is supposed to be a pre diabetic stage.
If proper care is not taken regarding food habits and reduction of weight,people with IFG slip into frank diabetic stage in coming years.
By adopting lifestyle changes like proper dietary controls and reduction of,one can avoid slipping into frank diabetes stage.This the reason your doctor has suggested to reduce weight and take care of food.
Thanks
