A blood sugar level of 117 mg/dL after eating (postprandial) is generally considered normal for most individuals. Here’s a quick reference for blood sugar levels after meals:

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

However, individual targets may vary based on factors like age, health conditions, and medications. If you have concerns about your blood sugar levels, consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
