Hmm not too high a rise after food, what did you eat, a rise of 2 mmol is considered ok true normal is 4.4 to 5.8.

The 7.0 mmol/L plasma fasting result that you are recording for the previous night is not a good sign and would indicate hat you are in the upper pre-diabetic stage and on the one reading have reached the criteria for becoming accepted as a FULL diabetic. They normally need TWO such reading on consecutive days or a HbA1c to back this up.
Obviously none of us on this site can say one way or another as the Information that you have provided is somewhat limited and is actually something that only your medical practitioner can confirm. Ultimately it will be the result from either your Fasting Blood Test Results and/or from the HbA1c test that will decide bearing in mind that these days they can diagnose diabetes from just the single HbA1c Blood test result.
I hope the end result is in your favour, please let us all know either way how you get on.
