It's so hard to say what numbers would be more concerning, Penny, as the ADA changed the standards of what they consider "normal." In the past, it was 80-120. Now, they consider "normal" to be 70-99 or something like that (forgive me if I'm off on that).

I still go by the 80-120 rule, but have been concerned with regard to Carwy's numbers (i.e. fasting sugars of 132+, a few high numbers in the 170s, and the worst, a 300!). 111 seems ok to me, but it may be a very good idea to watch it (just to be safe).

Sorry I couldn't help more, but there just seems to be a wide variety of what folks consider normal, which only serves to confuse. Here's hoping that hubby is alright.
