Hello.
Thanks for the query.
On the basis of the reports you have told me, diabetes is unlikely.
The sugars should have been either much lower, or very much higher.
Still, it is always a good idea to test for diabetes.
Testing with FBS PPBS HbA1C may help.
Getting a cardiac and neurological check up to rule out arrhythmia, TIA and seizures is more essential, if the sugar tests are normal.
Let us know the reports for further details.
