Hi Ajay,

I have gone through your blood sugar tests reports, and can say that your PP and fasting sugar are slightly elevated.
I usually set goals to my diabetic patients when it comes to blood sugar levels (acceptable blood sugar levels). These goals will help judge better over how well you are controlling your blood glucose. You can discuss it further with your doctor in order to set your own goals.

Anyway, your current sugar levels are not alarming.
All the best!
