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

  • Fasting Blood Sugar: If this is a fasting blood sugar level (measured after not eating for at least 8 hours), it is slightly above the normal range. Normal fasting blood sugar levels are typically between 70-99 mg/dL. A level of 113 mg/dL may indicate prediabetes (100-125 mg/dL).
  • Post-Meal Blood Sugar: If this is a post-meal (postprandial) reading, it is generally considered within a healthy range. Post-meal blood sugar levels should ideally be below 140 mg/dL.

What to Do:

  • If this is a fasting level, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation, as it may suggest prediabetes.
  • If this is a post-meal level, it is likely normal, but continue monitoring your blood sugar regularly.

Always discuss your results with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
