HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Diabetes can be diagnosed based on fasting readings, 2 hour post meal readings and HbA1C.
Your 2 hour reading is in the pre diabetic zone. Pre diabetics do not have full blown diabetes but are at risk of developing diabetes.
It would be best , however to have an official test done.
Increase in physical activity and change in diet can cause changes in blood sugars.
I hope this helps
