is 118 a good blood sugar level

A blood sugar level of 118 mg/dL can be interpreted differently depending on the context:

• Fasting Blood Sugar (before eating): A level of 118 mg/dL is slightly above the normal range (70–99 mg/dL) and may indicate prediabetes (100–125 mg/dL).
• Postprandial (after eating): A level of 118 mg/dL is considered normal, as blood sugar typically rises after meals but should be below 140 mg/dL two hours after eating.

If your fasting blood sugar is consistently around 118 mg/dL, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation, as this could indicate early signs of insulin resistance or prediabetes.
