Does random plasma glucose of 185 mg/dL = diabetes?

No.

The ADA defines diabetes as one of the following which must be reproducible on subsequent testing:
  • random plasma glucose > 200 mg/dL in the presence of diabetic symptoms.
  • fasting plasma glucose > 126 mg/dL
  • 2 hour plasma glucose > 200 mg/dL with oral glucose tolerance test
