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 levels:
Blood Sugar Level (mg/dL) Category
Less than 100 Normal (fasting)
100–125 Prediabetes
126 or higher Diabetes
140–199 (after meals) Prediabetes

If your blood sugar is consistently 165 mg/dL or higher, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
