Diabetologist,  's  Response
Dear sir i can understand your concern.
in my opinion you might be in the early stage of diabetes.
but i suggest you to check a test called Hba1c% for better analysis of the condition
Hba1c% greater than 6.5% is considered as diabetes.

i would like to tell you regarding diagnostic criteria of diabetes
he diagnosis of diabetes requires one of the following:

• A fasting glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL;

• A hemoglobin A1c level ≥ 6.5%;

• A random glucose level > 200 mg/dL in a markedly symptomatic patient(symptoms like increased urination,thirst,weight loss,blurred vision and non healing ulcers.

in my opinion its advisable to do lifestyle changes for 1 month and recheck your blood sugar,
daily exercise for 45min and control diet.
meet a dietitian for better advice.
regards
