Brief Answer:
Blood sugar level is within normal limits
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank your for choosing HCM to post your question.
That blood sugar level is very good and within normal limits.
Just measure it once in a while if you are concerned about having diabetes, if you are overweight and if you have family history.
If any of values comes suspicious (over 126 fasting), then consider doing the test 2 hours after a meal, and to evaluate it for 3 months do HbA1C.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need further clarifications.
Take care,
