is 128 high blood sugar

A blood sugar level of 128 mg/dL can be interpreted as follows:

• Fasting Blood Sugar: If this is a fasting blood sugar level (measured after not eating for at least 8 hours), it is slightly elevated. Normal fasting blood sugar levels are typically between 70-99 mg/dL. A level of 100-125 mg/dL indicates prediabetes, and 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests suggests diabetes.
• Post-Meal Blood Sugar: If this is a post-meal (postprandial) blood sugar level, it is generally considered within the normal range. Post-meal blood sugar levels should ideally be below 140 mg/dL.

If you consistently see blood sugar levels around 128 mg/dL, especially when fasting, it’s a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and potential testing, such as an A1C test, to assess your average blood sugar over the past 2-3 months.
