Yes, that's prediabetic range, and maybe full diabetic range.
Are you doing anything about it?
Doesn't have to be a lot - just learn to count carbs, start to limit diet and meals even a little, and get your own blood glucose meter so you can get at least daily readings - before each meal is even better. Just being able to see what's happening, is half the battle!
Oh, and get more exercise, you'd be amazed at how even a little walk every day can take your numbers down half a point or more!
