A blood sugar level of 164 mg/dL is considered high and may indicate hyperglycemia. Here’s a breakdown of blood sugar levels:
Blood Sugar Level (mg/dL) Category
Below 100 Normal (fasting)
100–125 Prediabetes
126 or higher Diabetes
140–199 (after meals) High (postprandial)
- Fasting: A level of 164 mg/dL is above the normal range and may suggest diabetes or poor glucose control.
- After meals: While post-meal levels can be higher, 164 mg/dL is still elevated and should be monitored.
If you consistently experience high blood sugar levels, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
