Ima 17 Year-old Girl And My Blood Sugar Is 157?

396545384 Im a 17 year old girl, i weigh 135lb and im about 5''5. Ive been checking my blood sugar everyday for a few days and its been anywhere from 70 to 100 but today it was 157. I no that 70 to 100 is pretty normal but 157 it high. Could it be diabetes or something else?
i ate about 2 hours ago and im eating now. ill check it again in a little while. thanks

John W - If you were still eating then it isn't something to worry about but a test two hours after a meal should be less than 140 mg/dl in order to be considered normal, it can peak higher than that within 30 minutes to an hour after a meal and the peak can be as high as 160 mg/dl for non-diabetics but is often less. A Doctor can look at your H1A1C blood test which is a 30 day average and perhaps do a two hour glucose tolerance test which Wikipedia describes well.
