Do I need to be tested?

Hi, In March 2006 I had an annual checkup and my fasting came back as 102 (5.7 in Canada which is considered normal) and OGTT was 118 (6.6 in Canada). I just had more tests done recently and the numbers were 104 fasting and 113 OGTT.

My Dr. tells me these are normal numbers, but I'm concened that the fasting number is over 100. I'm 5'6", weight 125, excellent cholestorol, low blood pressure 90/60, so I don't fit into the usual type 2 profile. I don't even know if I need to worry about diabetes. How would I know if I'm heading to type 2 or Lada? Should I get more tests or just wait until my next yearly checkup to see where I stand? Thanks for any information.
