Recently started monitoring my blood sugar after a scare and trip to the er fasting 122 this morning is this normal?

No: If you fasted 8 hour before having blood drawn for the test, the result indicates a state of pre-diabetes. You may be able to avoid becoming diabetic by losing about 10% of body weight, more if you are overweight/obese, exercise at least 30 minutes a day and consult a doctor or nutritionist for advice about diet.
