A blood sugar level of 113 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
  • Non-Fasting Blood Sugar (random or after eating):

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

A fasting blood sugar level of 113 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range. However, if this is a non-fasting reading, it may still be within the normal range. It’s important to consult your healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis, as they may recommend additional tests like the A1C test or an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).

Next Steps:

  • Monitor your blood sugar regularly.
  • Adopt a healthy diet and exercise routine.
  • Discuss your results with a doctor for personalized advice.
