Is a Blood Sugar Level of 113 mg/dL Good?

What Does 113 mg/dL Mean?

A blood sugar level of 113 mg/dL indicates your glucose level at the time of testing. It is slightly above the normal fasting range but still within a relatively safe zone.

Is 113 mg/dL Good?

A blood sugar level of 113 mg/dL is slightly elevated but not necessarily dangerous. Here’s what it means:

• Normal Range: 70-99 mg/dL (fasting)
• Prediabetes Range: 100-125 mg/dL (fasting)
• Diabetes Range: 126 mg/dL or higher (fasting)

While 113 mg/dL is not in the diabetes range, it suggests you may be in the prediabetes category, which is a warning sign to take action.
