Hi

I'm 37 years old man. I checked blood sugar just 1 hour after meal & found 8.6 & again checked after 2 hours and found 7.4.

My question is that is it already diabetic? Or risk for diabetes?

Pls advise.

That is not diabetic and depending on what you actually ate probably not prediabetic either. That's in the "normal" range for a high carb meal.
 
But by all means go to your GP and get it tested for peace of mind. Get a fasting test and some kind of glucose tolerance test.
 
Do you have any risk factors for diabetes, like being overweight, or having family members with diabetes? You may need an annual blood test from your doctor. Also a good idea to get them to check your blood pressure.
