Diabetes??

I know this isn’t pregnancy related at all, but I have gestational diabetes so I have the meter and I’m almost done I just have a week left so I have lots of test strips left and what not. So I test my number right when I wake up because that’s what my OB told me to do. Well, anyways I tested and it’s always a good number which is 83. Well, my SO wanted to test himself and he did and it was 117 he hasn’t ate or drank anything since last night around 9pm, and it’s been 12 hours. Is that normal for that number to be that high without being diabetic? He’s now afraid he has diabetes now.
