Answered by Dr. Emily Carter, MD 🩺

A blood sugar level of 154 mg/dL can be considered high depending on the context:

  • Fasting Blood Sugar: A normal fasting blood sugar level is typically below 100 mg/dL. A level of 154 mg/dL is higher than normal and may indicate prediabetes or diabetes.
  • Post-Meal Blood Sugar: After eating, blood sugar levels can rise. A level of 154 mg/dL 1-2 hours after a meal is slightly elevated but may not be alarming if it returns to normal within a few hours.

When to Be Concerned:

  • If your fasting blood sugar is consistently above 126 mg/dL, it may indicate diabetes.
  • If your post-meal blood sugar remains above 180 mg/dL, it could suggest poor blood sugar control.

Always consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and personalized advice.
