is 126 blood sugar normal

A blood sugar level of 126 mg/dL is considered elevated and may indicate prediabetes or diabetes, depending on the context of the test. Here’s a breakdown of blood sugar ranges:

Blood Sugar Level (mg/dL) Interpretation

Below 100 Normal
100–125 Prediabetes
126 or higher Diabetes

• If this reading is from a fasting blood sugar test, a level of 126 mg/dL or higher typically indicates diabetes.
• If it’s a random blood sugar test, further testing (like an A1C test) may be needed for confirmation.

Consult your healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and management plan.
