Hello!
Thank you for sharing your concern with us!
A blood sugar level 119 mg/dl suggests a predisposed subject with diabetes. According to the parameters you gave you have a BMI of 41.05, corresponds to an obesity of 3rd grade, this makes you predisposed more to have diabetes in the future. I do not know if you are taking anabolic substances, because some of them contain growth hormone, which is a hormone that influences the blood sugar.
I recommend you to pay attention to your diet, to avoid high caloric drinks and food and to keep exercising to burn calories. It is necessary to monitor the blood sugar level. I recommend measurements in the morning, before meals and 2 hours after meals to have a better framework.
Hope I helped! If you have other questions please do not hesitate to write!
