have I got prediabetes?

I've tested my blood sugar with an at home finger prick monitor and my fasting morning reading was 6.1mmol. I've done it again 2 hours after eating my evening meal and its still 6.1mmol...which is surely good? But don't understand the High Reading in the morning

Edit: I've recently upped my sertraline dosage to 100mg from 50mg and I take 75mc levothyroxine for hypothyroidism. I've also had 2 courses of antibiotics for a throat infection and today I've started my third. Been so stressed recently and just wondered if this could have anything to do with jt

Thank you! I thought i should add that I've recently upped my sertraline dosage to 100mg from 50mg and I take 75mc levothyroxine for hypothyroidism. I've also had 2 courses of antibiotics for a throat infection and today I've started my third. Been so stressed recently and just wondered if this could have anything to do with it

Check your thyroid blood test results, as well as Vitamin D, B12, folate and ferritin.
