I have a strong family history of diabetes. I checked my fasting glucose 2 days ago which was 115 mgdl (6.4mmol/l) and 2 hour postprandial was 107mg/dl (5.9mmol/l).
Today my fasting glucose was 164 mg/dl (9.1mmol/l) and 2 hour postprandial it was 122 mg/dl (6.7 mmol/l)
Does this mean diabetes?

Blood glucose meters aren't accurate enough for any sort of diagnosis ,
You need to go to your doctor for a fasting glucose test where your blood is tested by a laboratory. Even then,unless levels are very high or you have symptoms, diabetes shouldn't be diagnosed on a single raised fasting reading.
