Hi,
An abnormal sugar level, that too a fasting sugar of 264 is high. A value of 118 in dec 2010 should have caused an alarm for further investigations and should have warranted lifestyle modifications and medications.
However, it now appears to be diabetes mellitus, possibly type II due to development of insulin resistance or reduced insulin levels or both. Type II is due to genetics with compounding factor of obesity.
You can get a confirmation if you still doubt the values through HbA1c estimation. If it is raised you are confirmed diabetes mellitus.
Hope it helped.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
