A blood sugar level of 162 mg/dL is considered high, especially if measured 2 hours after eating. Here’s a breakdown of blood sugar levels:

Blood Sugar Level (mg/dL) Category

Less than 100 Normal (fasting) 100–125 Prediabetes
126 or higher Diabetes
140–199 (after meals) High (prediabetes/diabetes) 200 or higher (after meals) Very high (diabetes)

If your blood sugar is consistently 162 mg/dL or higher, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
