dear sir i can understand your concern.
in my opinion the blood sugar 121 can be graded as pre diabetes .
but this fasting blood sugar also will fluctuate some times and depend on many factors.
i suggest you to check your Hba1c and kindly let me know about your height weight and family history of diabetes to suggest you better.
the good news is pre diabetes is reversible with good diet and weight reduction.
your ideal bmi should be below 24.5 for better health
