A blood sugar level of 124 mg/dL can be considered high depending on the context:

  • Fasting Blood Sugar: If this reading is taken after fasting (not eating for at least 8 hours), it falls into the prediabetes range (100–125 mg/dL).
  • Post-Meal Blood Sugar: If taken 1–2 hours after eating, this level is generally considered normal (typically below 140 mg/dL).

What to Do:

  • If fasting, consult your doctor to confirm if further testing (e.g., A1C test) is needed.
  • If post-meal, monitor your levels regularly and maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine.

For personalized advice, always consult a healthcare professional.
