Hello,

Your blood sugar value and creatinine are within the normal range.
You need not worry about diabetes with this value.

Your urine analysis indicates presence of RBC in urine.
In normal circumstances RBC is not present in urine.
This is called Hematuria(Presence of blood in urine).
The commonest cause is Urinary tract infection.
Consult your doctor.
