Well, it's quite a spectrum of tests. Apart from other issues being looked at, you've got A1c and Fasting Glucose which should hopefully give indications as to diabetic status or lack of. HbA1c in particular can be useful because it is a little like an "average" of your BG levels over the last 3 months. Small discrepancies may not be picked up, but if much has been going on you'll probably see it in your A1c. TSH is looking at your thyroid, which I understand can be an issue and cause BG problems both alongside, and aside from diabetes.

Hopefully you'll find out something from these tests. If you don't feel things are progressing adequately one way or the other you'll find knowledgeable people here to suggest approaches and other tests to try and get to the bottom of things, diabetes wise. Hang in there.
