A blood glucose level of 134 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 higher than the normal range (70–99 mg/dL) and may indicate prediabetes or diabetes.
  • Post-Meal (Postprandial): If taken 1–2 hours after eating, 134 mg/dL is within the normal range (typically less than 140 mg/dL).

What to Do:

  • If fasting, consult your doctor for further testing, such as an A1C test, to assess your average blood sugar over the past 3 months.
  • If post-meal, monitor your levels regularly and maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine.

For personalized advice, always consult a healthcare professional.
