Yes some of your readings are high but diagnosis should be done by a doctor and only after a full history, examination and lab tests.

BUT

I am concerned at the length of times you are going without eating. I know it is hard to believe but that may be the cause of your high numbers if you do not take in enough calories in a day or have a long time between eating then your body will use up its own fat and muscle reserves and this may push up levels. Speak to your doctor and make sure if there is anything wrong with you

You need to get on a routine before you start keeping up with your sugar levels. Instead of checking at 8,9,10 a.m., check about 7-7:30 every morning for a week. Yes, the numbers are high but that doesn't mean anything. You might not be realizing what you're eating has a lot of carbs or a lot of sugars. Try to keep a log of what you eat, when you eat, how much, etc. Write down how many carbs and sugars are in a serving.

Did you take your sugar levels before or after you ate?? If it's before you ate then you need to go get blood work done because your sugars are a bit high. If it's after you eat and that's 2 hours after I'm assuming it would be ok. Diabetics sugars are fairly controlled if the readings are as follows:

Before eating - 130 or below

After eating (2 hours) 180 or below

I'm diabetic and this is what I've read through the American Diabetes Association.

These readings are normal shortly after a meal, but if they are fasting results, there is some cause for concern. Most of these readings are not terribly high, but high enough that they are out of the norm. You could be glucose intolerant (commonly but erroneously referred to as "borderline diabetes"), but this condition often progresses to full diabetes. Definitely talk with your doctor about this, and ask to be referred to an endocrinologist.

Short answer: any fasting reading that is over 126mg/dl and has not been contaminated is definitely diabetic. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Long answer: Unless your meter or test strips are faulty, or you've somehow managed ton contaminate a whole lotta tests, yup, you're diabetic. You need to see your doctor to get a proper diagnosis supported by bloodwork. Ask them to refer you to an endocrinologist who you can work with to manage your diabetes: many general doctors seem to suffer the delusion that they can manage diabetic patients singlehandedly: this is false.

The figures are high. You need to consult your doctor. Try to reduce your weight. Sometimes it is possible to control blood sugar with diet and regular exercise.
