A blood sugar level of 145 mg/dL can be considered high depending on the context:

  • Fasting Blood Sugar: If measured after fasting (not eating for at least 8 hours), 145 mg/dL is higher than the normal range (70–99 mg/dL) and may indicate prediabetes or diabetes.
  • Post-Meal Blood Sugar: If measured 1–2 hours after eating, 145 mg/dL is slightly elevated but may still be within an acceptable range for some individuals. However, consistently high post-meal readings could indicate poor blood sugar control.

Normal Blood Sugar Ranges:

  • Fasting: 70–99 mg/dL
  • 1–2 hours after eating: Less than 140 mg/dL

If you frequently experience blood sugar levels of 145 mg/dL or higher, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
