Post prandial blood sugar (2 hours after consuming food) should be less than 140 mg/dL. You have got impaired glucose tolerance. (Prediabetes)

* eat less food more times in a day.

* Adopt low carbohydrate diet.

* Engage in brisk walking daily for 30 minutes.

The hemoglobin A1c test tells you your average level of blood sugar over the past 2 to 3 months. It's also called HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin test, and glycohemoglobin. People who have diabetes need this test regularly to see if their levels are staying within range. ... The A1c test is also used to diagnose diabetes.

It's better to do this test which is more real

I wd suggest to do HbA1c & FBS (After min. 8 hrs. Fasting.)

You may skip PPBS & do at home with Glucometer.. I have been doing so for past 8/9 years. These two figures give you full idea about your diabetic control.

Secondly go to a standard Lab. Your results raise doubts.

All the best.
