is 116 blood sugar high

A blood sugar level of 116 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 level of 116 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range, indicating slightly elevated blood sugar levels.

• Postprandial (after eating):

  • Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL
  • Prediabetes: 140–199 mg/dL
  • Diabetes: 200 mg/dL or higher

  If 116 mg/dL is measured after eating, it is considered normal.

It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation, as other factors like A1C tests may be needed for a complete diagnosis.
