A blood sugar 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 Blood Sugar: If this reading is taken 1-2 hours after eating, it is within the normal range (less than 140 mg/dL is considered normal).

What to Do:

  • If fasting blood sugar is consistently above 126 mg/dL, consult a healthcare provider for further testing (e.g., A1C test).
  • Monitor your blood sugar regularly and maintain a healthy lifestyle with balanced meals and regular exercise.

For personalized advice, always consult your doctor.
