is 118 high for blood sugar

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

• Fasting Blood Sugar: If this is a fasting blood sugar level (measured after not eating for at least 8 hours), it is slightly elevated. Normal fasting blood sugar is typically 70-99 mg/dL, while 100-125 mg/dL indicates prediabetes, and 126 mg/dL or higher suggests diabetes.
• Post-Meal Blood Sugar: If this is measured 1-2 hours after eating, it is within a normal range. Post-meal blood sugar should generally be less than 140 mg/dL.

If you consistently see fasting blood sugar levels around 118 mg/dL, it may indicate prediabetes. Consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.
