| Jim is right, usually the first signs of elevated blood sugars can be found in post-meal readings....that's probably why often times T2s can have diabetes for years and not know it, as it hasn't gotten bad enough to affect the fasting levels.
Whether you are T2 or prediabetic (though with 298 post meal, I think you're probably past the prediabetic stage), you now know you have a problem and can take whatever steps are necessary to get good control. With good control, you won't believe how much better you'll feel.
If your doc is not sure exactly what type you are, i'd suggest you see an endocrinologist the help get a good handle on things.
