That is to high. Get glucose intolerance test done. U could be insulin resistance/ pre diabetic control why I still can. I'm 30 last yr found out I'm insulin resistance and have PCOS. My dad his dad and 4 siblings all have diabetes. Good luck to you!

How soon after breakfast did you check your blood sugar?  Bread is a simple carb and spikes the blood sugar pretty quickly.  If your body is producing adequate insulin, it would bring the blood sugar down pretty quickly.

You should wait 2 hrs after a meal to test blood sugar, so it's unlikely that you have diabetes.  

If in doubt, have your doctor do a Hemoglobin A1c test and/or a glucose tolerance test.
