My 9 year old son

My son is 9 and he got dizzy today so I checked his blood sugar, (I have a glucometer from when i was pregnant with my youngest one) I did the test for the control it was 94 and my sons was 164 I waited until 2 hours of no food drink at least (closer to 2 1/2) and checked it again and it's 168.  I'm worried about this.  I am going to check it again in a few minutes when it's been an hour after dinner but what should it be 1 hour after eating?  and how bad is this?

If you have not already done so, get him to a doctor ASAP.

1 hour after dinner his sugar levels are 163.  I'm concerned.  I fed him rotisserie (sp??) chicken and salad with Ranch dressing.  

He's not an overweight child at all in fact he's pretty skinny.  He's only 62 pounds.  Most kids his age are pushing 90+ pounds.  He's got a small build like a baseball player.
