Hi,
I can understand your concerns.
You are overweight.
Was the glucose test done after fasting or after meal ?
If its a random blood glucose test then the value is on the higher side and chances of you being diagnosed as diabetic are high.
Nevertheless i will recommend you to undergo the glucose tolerance test as its more accurate and will confirm the findings.
