Hi @Mazmoo123 and welcome
Three isolated readings don’t say much, but depending on what you’d eaten, they do seem on the high side.
Do you have any symptoms of diabetes? The only advice we can give is to see your doctor and get the relevant blood tests to find out.

I’ve had a few dizzy spells and do seem to drink more water I did go for blood tests yesterday for other things nothing mentioned about diabetic never even crossed my mind until later on when my friend did my blood readings . I’m not sure if any thing will show in the bloods taken from me by doctor with it not being mentioned

Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
As you were having blood tests I assume that there is something else going on.
If you tell us about this and any medication then we will have a better idea of what else might be going on.
We can't diagnose, of course.
The blood tests are unlikely to report on HbA1c unless specifically asked for by your doctor.
Best to contact them and tell them what you have told us.
I’ve had dizziness and fainting episodes and pain in my back and neck I have psoriasis and I think there checking for that I’m already on methotrexate for psoriasis but there was mention of rheumatoid arthritis . I just done another reading about an hour and half after my dinner and was 9.7 I will speak to my doctor on Monday I just wasn’t sure if these readings can be normal in a none diabetic
