is 200 sugar readings bad

A blood sugar reading of 200 mg/dL or higher can indicate hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), which may be a sign of diabetes or poor blood sugar management. Here’s what you need to know:

• Normal Range: Fasting blood sugar should be below 100 mg/dL. After meals, it should be below 140 mg/dL.
• Prediabetes/Diabetes: A reading of 200 mg/dL or higher, especially if consistent, may suggest diabetes or prediabetes.
• Symptoms: High blood sugar can cause symptoms like frequent urination, increased thirst, fatigue, and blurred vision.

If you consistently have readings of 200 mg/dL or higher, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
