Yes, these sugar levels are high and indicate that your diabetes is not well controlled. A fasting level of 168 mg/dL and a post-meal level of 318 mg/dL increase the risk of complications if not managed properly. Please consult your doctor soon for medicine adjustment, and follow a strict diet, regular exercise, and avoid sugary and high-carbohydrate foods to help control your blood sugar.
