is 168 high blood sugar

A blood sugar level of 168 mg/dL is considered elevated and may indicate hyperglycemia, especially if measured after fasting or before a meal. Here’s a quick 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 168 mg/dL is high and may suggest diabetes or poor glucose control.
• After Eating: Levels up to 180 mg/dL are sometimes acceptable for people with diabetes, but 168 mg/dL is still on the higher side.

If you consistently see levels around 168 mg/dL, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
