Brief Answer: no diabetes diagnosed so far. Detailed Answer: Dear sir, Hi! criteria to label you diabetic - 1. fasting >126 mg/dl 2. 2 hr post meal > 200 mg dl on more than one occasion 3. 75 gm oral glucose load test so as per fasting 104 you are not diabetic . but to confirm you need to undergo 75 gm glucose load test. (OGTT) let me know the result so i can tell you whether you are diabetic or not. TG 280 is high. increase exercising, decrease high calorie food. like sweets, fried food and also focus on weight loss. obese hypertensive male only 23 yrs, you are very likely to develop all complications of metabolic syndrome. so take care.
