A blood glucose level of 112 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 112 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range, indicating slightly elevated blood sugar levels.

  • Post-Meal Blood Sugar (1–2 hours after eating):

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

    If 112 mg/dL is measured after eating, it is considered normal.

What to do:

  • If this is a fasting level, consult your doctor for further evaluation.
  • Consider lifestyle changes like a balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight management to help lower your blood sugar levels.
