Yes, that's healthy. Check again 1 hour and two hours after eating to be sure your pancreas is effectively bringing that level back down under 100 in a reasonable time.

Recommended normal levels are:

Fasting blood sugarunder 100 mg/dl (5.5 mmol/L)One hour after mealsunder 140 mg/dl (7.8 mmol/L)Two hours after mealsunder 120 mg/dl (6.6 mmol/L)
