While this really is a question you must ask your doctor, I can tell you that "normal" fasting (no food or drink for 12 hours) blood glucose readings are between 70-100. A fasting reading of 100-125 is considered pre-diabetes, and over 125 is diabetes. Many factors are involved making it impossible to give an accurate answer over an internet message board. You need to see your doctor for evaluation and treatmant.
