Answered by Dr. Emily Carter, MD 🩺

A blood sugar level of 125 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), a level of 125 mg/dL is considered prediabetes (100–125 mg/dL). A level of 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests indicates diabetes.
  • Random Blood Sugar: If this is a random reading (not fasting), a level of 125 mg/dL is generally within the normal range, but it’s important to monitor for consistency.

Always consult with a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and personalized advice.
