A blood sugar level of 128 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 is slightly above the normal range (70-99 mg/dL) and may indicate prediabetes (100-125 mg/dL).
  • Post-Meal Blood Sugar: If taken 1-2 hours after eating, 128 mg/dL is generally within the normal range (less than 140 mg/dL).

What to Do:

  • If fasting, consult your doctor for further evaluation, as consistent readings in this range may require lifestyle changes or monitoring.
  • If post-meal, continue to monitor your blood sugar levels and maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine.

Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
