Is 165 a high blood sugar?

A blood sugar level of 165 mg/dL is considered high, especially if measured 2 hours after eating. Here’s a quick reference for blood sugar levels:

Condition Blood Sugar Level (mg/dL)

Normal (Fasting) Less than 100
Prediabetes 100–125
Diabetes 126 or higher
Post-Meal (2 hours) Less than 140

If your blood sugar is consistently 165 mg/dL or higher, it may indicate poor blood sugar control or diabetes. Consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
