A blood sugar level of 110 mg/dL can be interpreted as follows:

  • Fasting Blood Sugar (before eating):

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

    A fasting blood sugar of 110 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range, indicating slightly elevated blood sugar levels.

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

    • Normal: Below 140 mg/dL
    • Prediabetes/Diabetes: 140 mg/dL or higher

    If 110 mg/dL is measured after eating, it is considered normal.

What to do:

  • If this is a fasting reading, consult your doctor for further evaluation, including an A1C test or oral glucose tolerance test.
  • Maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and monitor your blood sugar levels to prevent progression to diabetes.
