Default glucose question

I've been looking through my blood work out of curiosity thinking that maybe something was borderline and didn't get flagged.

Everything looked great. However, my estimated average glucose was 111. I wasn't fasting, but I didn't eat sugar or carbs at all. That particular day, I think I had only had coffee for breakfast.

I am pretty small. 5'2" and 107 pounds. However, is it possible that I still have glucose intolerance? I was borderline diabetic during both of my pregnancies. I made the decision to ditch sugars about 3 years ago because I would feel dizzy after eating them.

I started adding sugars back in my diet last April when I first noticed symptoms. I was trying to carb load for long runs. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Could I be pre-diabetic at a normal weight?
