is 129 high for blood sugar

A blood sugar level of 129 mg/dL can be considered high depending on the context:

• Fasting Blood Sugar: If measured after fasting (not eating for at least 8 hours), a level of 129 mg/dL is above the normal range (70–99 mg/dL) and may indicate prediabetes or diabetes.
• Post-Meal Blood Sugar: If measured 1–2 hours after eating, 129 mg/dL is generally within a healthy range (typically less than 140 mg/dL).

Next Steps:

• If this is a fasting reading, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
• If this is a post-meal reading, continue monitoring your blood sugar levels and maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle.
