Brief Answer:
Nothing needs to be done.

Detailed Answer:
HI

There is no need to worry about this , unless you are diabetic.

Also checking blood sugar in capillary blood ( finger prick blood ) can show wide variations . So no need to do anything .

Just have something to eat and that's enough.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask.

Brief Answer:
Fasting value is high but need more test.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Well a value of more than 110 in fasting condition is abnormal, but I would recommend you to get post prandial blood sugars tested and also a test called HBA1C which will help in diagnosing whether you have diabetes or if there is at risk of becoming diabetic.

Kindly revert back with reports.

Regards.
