I think you are not actually diabetic until your fasting level is over 126 or thereabouts. 110 is a bit higher than normal and suggests that you are pre-diabetic and that you should be watching your diet and exercise levels about now.

Hello and welcome,
I'm afraid only your doctor can tell you that following diagnostic blood tests such as the HbA1c or Oral Glucose Tolerance tests. Have you had these tests?

For me it stopped the instant I was given insulin. But it could be related to kidneys or something else, we cannot diagnose you, you must speak to your medical team and get tests done as Bluetit1802 suggested above..
