Normal fasting blood glucose level is between 80-100mg/dl. But, a single high fasting glucose is not an accurate measure of prediabetes or diabetes. You Dr should follow up with a HgA1C which measures your blood glucose over time. HgA1C below 5.7% indicates normal blood glucose, Between 5.7% and 6.4% indicates prediabetes, and Over 6.4% indicates Diabetes.

You should re do the test and have your blood tested at an accredited laboratory. Results from glucometer are not adequate for a diagnosis. Having said that, if two correctly done tests show fasting plasma glucose level between 110 and 126, that would indicate pre-diabetes.
