A blood sugar level of 115 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 115 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range, indicating higher-than-normal blood sugar levels but not yet diabetes.

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

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

    If 115 mg/dL is measured after eating, it is considered normal.

Next Steps:

  • If this is a fasting reading, consult your doctor for further evaluation.
  • Lifestyle changes like a balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight management can help lower blood sugar levels.
  • Regular monitoring is key to managing your health.
