Answered by Dr. Emily 🩺

A blood glucose level of 150 mg/dL can be considered high depending on the context:

  • Fasting Blood Sugar: If this is a fasting level (measured after 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 measured 1–2 hours after eating, 150 mg/dL is slightly elevated but may still be within an acceptable range for some individuals, especially if it returns to normal within a few hours.

What to Do:

  • If your fasting glucose is consistently 150 mg/dL or higher, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
  • Monitor your blood sugar regularly and consider lifestyle changes such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight management.

For personalized advice, always consult your doctor.
