| 111 on a home glucose meter could be 120, and it could be 95. There is a bit of variability between one machine to another. My machine consistently reads 10 to 15 mg/dl above the one at my doctor's office. It's normal to have that variation, and I wouldn't start freaking out over a 111 on your home glucometer. My boyfriend who is very athletic and eats well and has no history of diabetes in his family ocassionally tests in the low 100's when we test for fun.
If you notice significantly higher numbers after meals, (lets say 140 or so) or he NEVER seems to go down into that 70 - 99 range then I would suspect a problem.
i'd probably spot test both fasting and post meal blood sugars for a little while. Then I would probably record the results and give them to his doctor. Or, and this might be the more accurate thing to do, I'd just ask the doctor to do an A1c.
