is 125 blood sugar good

A blood sugar level of 125 mg/dL can have different implications depending on when it is measured:

• Fasting Blood Sugar (before eating):

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

• Postprandial (after eating):

  • Normal: Below 140 mg/dL
  • Prediabetes/Diabetes: 140–199 mg/dL or higher

If your fasting blood sugar is 125 mg/dL, it falls into the prediabetes range. This indicates that your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. It’s important to consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to discuss lifestyle changes or treatments to prevent progression to diabetes.

For postprandial readings, 125 mg/dL is considered normal, but consistent monitoring is key to understanding your overall glucose control.
