A blood sugar level of 165 mg/dL is considered high, especially if measured 2 hours after eating. Here’s a breakdown of blood sugar ranges:
Blood Sugar Level (mg/dL) Category
Less than 100 Normal (fasting)
100–125 Prediabetes
126 or higher Diabetes (fasting)
140–199 (after eating) Prediabetes
200 or higher (after eating) Diabetes
If your blood sugar is consistently 165 mg/dL or higher, it may indicate poor blood sugar control or diabetes. Consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
