Concerned. Please help.

I was a bit worried recently when I noticed I was using the washroom to urinate more often.

I decided to buy a monitor to check my blood sugar levels.

Heres some of the results:

After an 8 hour fasting: 93.4

Then I ate 4 glazed doughnuts and a can of coca cola (just to see what would happen)

After 30 minutes: 133.2
After 1 hour : 171
After 1 hour and a half : 162
After 2 hours: 149.4

^^ I figured since I horked down 4 whole donuts and a can of cola in less than 10 minutes, the reading should be higher than normal, right?


Anyways now after I eat a pretty good meal, these are my readings:

After 1 hour: 133 - 140
After 2 hours: 120


Normally on random it's around 108-120


Is this normal? Am I pre-diabetic? Should I see a doctor for further tests or am I just paranoid?


Also, when is the "post meal" supposed to be checked at?
1 hour or 2 hours later? I keep hearing 2 hours, but it's usually higher after 1 hour. Is this normal too? Is that why they say to wait until 2 hours?


Thank you for any help or advice given


BTW I am 32 years old and overweight
