A blood glucose level of 113 mg/dL can be interpreted as follows:

  • 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 levels are typically between 70-99 mg/dL. A level of 100-125 mg/dL is considered prediabetes, and 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests indicates diabetes.
  • Postprandial (After Eating): If this level is measured 1-2 hours after eating, it is generally within the normal range, as postprandial levels can rise temporarily.

What to Do:

  • If this is a fasting level, consider consulting a healthcare provider for further evaluation, especially if you have risk factors for diabetes.
  • If this is a postprandial level, it is likely normal, but continuous monitoring is recommended if you have concerns about blood sugar management.

Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
