Brief Answer:
Insulin resistance.

Detailed Answer:
Fasting blood sugar level depends upon sugar production by liver which full fill glucose requirement of body in the absence of external intake.

Post-prandial blood sugar level depends upon glucose utilisation by body organs especially muscles.

Both these mechanisms are regulated by insulin.
Resistance to the action of insulin which is responsible for development of abnormal blood sugar levels.

Variable insulin resistance at two different levels (liver & other organs) is responsible for higher Fasting blood sugar level than post-prandial blood sugar level.
