A blood sugar level of 114 mg/dL can be interpreted as follows:

  • Fasting Blood Sugar (before eating):

    • Normal: 70–99 mg/dL
    • Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL
    • Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher

    A fasting blood sugar of 114 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range, indicating slightly elevated blood sugar levels. It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and potential lifestyle changes.

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

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

    If 114 mg/dL is a post-meal reading, it is considered normal. However, consistent monitoring and consultation with a healthcare professional are recommended for accurate assessment.
