is 123 high blood sugar

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

• Fasting Blood Sugar: If this is a fasting blood sugar level (measured after not eating for at least 8 hours), it is slightly elevated. Normal fasting blood sugar is typically 70-99 mg/dL, while 100-125 mg/dL indicates prediabetes, and 126 mg/dL or higher suggests diabetes.
• Post-Meal Blood Sugar: If this is a post-meal (postprandial) reading, it is generally considered normal. Post-meal blood sugar should ideally be less than 140 mg/dL.

If you consistently see readings around 123 mg/dL, especially while fasting, it may indicate prediabetes. Consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and advice.
