is 123 a good blood sugar level

A blood sugar level of 123 mg/dL can be interpreted as follows:

• Fasting Blood Sugar (before meals):

  • Normal: 70–99 mg/dL
  • Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL
  • Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher
  • A level of 123 mg/dL falls in the prediabetes range.

• Postprandial (after meals):

  • Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL
  • A level of 123 mg/dL is considered normal after eating.

If your fasting blood sugar is consistently around 123 mg/dL, it may indicate prediabetes, and you should consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. Lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, can help lower your risk of progressing to diabetes.
