Hi ronnie!

It is never a good idea to self-diagnose.

Your fasting BG is too high. Your 2-hour is OK given where your fasting was, but not brilliant. Your after exercise was normal. However, if you are diabetic/pre-diabetic, the 2 bananas and 4 oatcakes wasn't a great idea. Please make an appointment and go to your doctor. You might be diabetic, or, more likely, pre-diabetic. Go and get tested and then come back here to let us know. If you do get a positive diagnosis you will get any support you need here.
