You were not fasting so you can’t compare your level with the normal fasting levels. Yours was post prandial and normal for this range. So your not diabetic on that result
102 is normal if you took your blood sugar level after you ate. Take it BEFORE you eat anything, if it comes out high then you need to see a doctor so further tests can be done.
