is 129 a high blood sugar level

A blood sugar level of 129 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) or diabetes (126 mg/dL or higher).
• Post-Meal Blood Sugar: If this reading is taken 1–2 hours after eating, it is within the normal range (less than 140 mg/dL).

If you consistently see readings around 129 mg/dL while fasting, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation. They may recommend an A1C test to assess your average blood sugar levels over the past 3 months.
