is 148 blood sugar high

A blood sugar level of 148 mg/dL can be considered high depending on the context:

• Fasting Blood Sugar: If this reading is taken after fasting (not eating for at least 8 hours), it is higher than the normal range (70–99 mg/dL) and may indicate prediabetes or diabetes.
• Post-Meal Blood Sugar: If taken 1–2 hours after eating, a level of 148 mg/dL is slightly elevated but may still be within an acceptable range for some individuals. However, consistently high post-meal readings should be discussed with a healthcare provider.

Normal Blood Sugar Ranges:

Condition Blood Sugar Range (mg/dL)

Normal (Fasting) 70–99
Prediabetes 100–125
Diabetes 126 or higher

If you frequently experience blood sugar levels around 148 mg/dL, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.
