is 132 blood sugar high

A blood sugar level of 132 mg/dL can be considered high depending on when the measurement was taken:

• Fasting Blood Sugar: If measured after fasting (not eating for at least 8 hours), a level of 132 mg/dL is higher than the normal range (70–99 mg/dL) and may indicate prediabetes or diabetes.
• Post-Meal Blood Sugar: If measured 1–2 hours after eating, a level of 132 mg/dL is generally within the normal range (less than 140 mg/dL).

Next Steps:

• If your fasting blood sugar is consistently 132 mg/dL or higher, consult a healthcare provider for further testing, such as an A1C test.
• Monitor your blood sugar regularly and maintain a healthy lifestyle to manage your levels.
