It looks like you have Impaired Fasting Glucose. The criteria for this is fasting blood glucose between 6.1 & 7.0 mmol/l. It means that you are at risk of becoming a T2 diabetic, but taking suitable action now may enable you avoid this. Here is an article about it :

Diagnosis and Classification of Diabetes Mellitus: New Criteria - October 15, 1998 - American Academy of Family Physicians

Scroll down to table 2. And good luck!
