is 121 high blood sugar

A blood sugar level of 121 mg/dL can be considered high depending on the context:

• Fasting Blood Sugar: If measured after fasting (not eating for at least 8 hours), a level of 121 mg/dL is higher than the normal range (70–99 mg/dL) and may indicate prediabetes or diabetes.
• Post-Meal Blood Sugar: If measured 1–2 hours after eating, 121 mg/dL is generally within a healthy range (typically less than 140 mg/dL).

Next Steps:

• If this is a fasting reading, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
• If it's a post-meal reading, continue monitoring your blood sugar levels and maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle.
