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.
