A blood sugar level of 200 mg/dL or higher is considered high and may indicate diabetes or poor blood sugar control. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Normal Range: Fasting blood sugar should be below 100 mg/dL.
  • Prediabetes: Fasting blood sugar between 100-125 mg/dL.
  • Diabetes: Fasting blood sugar of 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests.

If your blood sugar is 200 mg/dL or higher, especially after eating, it could indicate diabetes. Consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Symptoms of High Blood Sugar:

  • Frequent urination
  • Increased thirst
  • Fatigue
  • Blurred vision

What to Do:

  • Monitor: Check your blood sugar regularly.
  • Lifestyle Changes: Focus on a healthy diet and exercise.
  • Medication: Follow your doctor’s advice on medications or insulin if prescribed.
