Hi Lisa
We can only advise here, not diagnose but the numbers you have mentioned are very high and as far as I know, would indicate diabetes.
I suggest getting along to your GP and get yourself tested properly. Diabetes isn't the end of the world by any means and you are sure to get lots of support here if you do get a definitive diagnosis.
Take care

Hi. I suspect with those values you may well be diagnosed as a diabetic, but don't panic. Moving to a good diet (see the various articles in the forum) may well bring your sugar levels down without needing any medication. Have a look at your carb intake and try to bring it in-line with the suggested levels on this website.
