Do you have ANY with a HIGH reading?
A level of 111 on a non-fasting test is very good.
NON-diabetics can have non-fasting levels higher than that if they have eaten, had coffee, juice, etc.
Glucose levels change constantly throughout the day for everyone but the body quickly makes adjustments to keep glucose levels within normal ranges. It is when the body does NOT regulate the balance of glucose and insulin, you become insulin resistant, pre-diabetic, diabetic, etc.
Without a better description from you, I would say you are NOT out of normal range.
I would not worry about a reading of 111, especially if non-fasting, or even an "average" of several results if any of them were NON-fasting levels.
Oh, you did mention "coffee". Coffee WILL raise your blood sugar levels even if you drink it black if it is caffeinated.
Caffeine increases blood sugar levels.

Thanks for the insight. I actually wasn't so much worried as hopeful that this could be what is causing the sfn. It just said eAG on the blood work. The description said, "estimated average glucose." I really have not had my glucose checked except for all the blood work that was done at the time of my original diagnosis and when I was pregnant. The levels then were borderline.
Sadly, I'm just looking for a reason. It's hard to believe that this just came out of nowhere.
