A blood sugar level of 131 mg/dL after eating (postprandial) is generally considered slightly elevated but not necessarily high. Here's a breakdown of typical blood sugar ranges after meals:

  • Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL
  • Prediabetes: 140–199 mg/dL
  • Diabetes: 200 mg/dL or higher

If your blood sugar is consistently above 140 mg/dL after meals, it may indicate prediabetes or diabetes. Consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and personalized advice.
