A blood sugar level of 183 mg/dL is considered high, especially if measured after fasting or before a meal. 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

  • 183 mg/dL falls into the diabetic range if measured fasting or randomly. If this is a post-meal reading, it may still indicate poor blood sugar control.

What to do?

  • Monitor your blood sugar regularly.
  • Consult your healthcare provider to adjust your diabetes management plan.
  • Focus on lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, and medication adherence.

Persistent high blood sugar can lead to complications, so it’s important to address it promptly.
