Normal fasting glucose is 70 - 90 mg/dl. Fasting BG of 110 - 125 indicates IFG (Impaired Fasting Glucose). So there could a problem there. I suggests testing him an hour after meals to see how high his BG is going, and testing him when he feels light-headed to see if this is caused by low BG. It could be that he has IFG and reactive hypoglycemia, in which case working on diet and exercise would be a good idea.
