is 113 a good blood sugar reading

A blood sugar reading of 113 mg/dL can be interpreted as follows:

• Fasting Blood Sugar (before meals):

  • Normal: 70–99 mg/dL
  • Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL
  • Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher
  • A reading of 113 mg/dL falls in the prediabetes range if it is a fasting reading.

• Postprandial (after meals):

  • Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL
  • A reading of 113 mg/dL after eating is considered normal.

If your reading is fasting, it may indicate prediabetes, and you should consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation. If it's after eating, it is within the normal range.

Always consider the context of the reading (fasting vs. post-meal) and consult your doctor for personalized advice.
