Levels of 6.5% or higher mean you have diabetes. So you should take care. Its on higher side. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, seasonal fruit, a cup of curd/milk etc Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep.
