The value that you quote could be abnormal depending on the context of when it was drawn. If the value was taken first thing in the morning after an overnight fast, it is an abnormal value.
The American Diabetes Association definitions for abnormal blood sugar readings are the following:
Impaired fasting glucose: 5.6 mmol/l (100 mg/dl) or higher
Diabetic range fasting glucose: 7 mmol/l (126 mg/dl) or higher
A random blood sugar of 11.1 mmol/l (200 mg/dl) is considered strongly suspect for diabetes.
I hope this information helps. I think that you will need to speak with your doctor further to determine what that blood sugar level means in the overall setting of your health.
