A blood glucose level of 111 mg/dL can be interpreted as follows:

  • Fasting Blood Sugar (before eating):

    • Normal: Below 100 mg/dL
    • Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL
    • Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher

    A fasting glucose level of 111 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range, indicating higher-than-normal blood sugar levels but not yet diabetes.

  • Non-Fasting Blood Sugar (after eating):

    • Normal: Below 140 mg/dL
    • Prediabetes/Diabetes: 140–199 mg/dL or higher

    If 111 mg/dL is a non-fasting reading, it is within the normal range.

What to Do:

  • If this is a fasting reading, consult your doctor for further evaluation, including an A1C test or oral glucose tolerance test.
  • Lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet and regular exercise, can help manage blood sugar levels and prevent progression to diabetes.
