is 123 blood sugar high

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

• Fasting Blood Sugar (before eating):

  • Normal: Less than 100 mg/dL
  • Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL
  • Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher

• Postprandial (2 hours after eating):

  • Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL
  • Prediabetes: 140–199 mg/dL
  • Diabetes: 200 mg/dL or higher

A fasting blood sugar level of 123 mg/dL falls into the prediabetes range. However, if this reading is taken after eating, it may still be within the normal range. It's important to consult your healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and personalized advice.
