Answered by Dr. Emily Carter, MD 🩺

A blood sugar level of 200 mg/dL is considered high, especially if measured after fasting or randomly. Here’s what it could indicate:

  • Fasting Blood Sugar: A level of 200 mg/dL or higher suggests diabetes.
  • Random Blood Sugar: A level of 200 mg/dL or higher, especially with symptoms like increased thirst or frequent urination, may also indicate diabetes.

Normal Ranges:

  • Fasting: 70–99 mg/dL
  • 2 hours after eating: Less than 140 mg/dL

If you consistently see levels around 200 mg/dL, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
